I agree with the last reviewer, there is a bittersweet romance at work here, coupled with a good, old fashioned mystery. Who better to direct than Irving J. Moore, who went on to master DYNASTY and DALLAS.
Tracy gets into the action, investigating a murder linked to a jewelry theft case and some very interesting characters tossed in for good measure. Series writer Gloria Elmore put some extra thought into this story, also quite poignant at times.
Dawn Wells, in a very early role, plays Carolyn, caught up in the case and also in a semi romance with an older gentleman, Major Kirby, played by popular actor Philip Reed. Dawn is excellent in this part. June Vincent, a staple in many classic films, likewise has a very good role as Eleanor. TV favorite Roy Roberts plays Sam, a rather offbeat role for him, replete with cigarettes and a shot of whiskey. Roberts is always fun to watch.
Although this was largely filmed at Warner Brothers, some excellent background Hawaiian footage is interwoven, and very professionally done. In a series first, Cricket sings the tv theme song! --accompanied by Arthur Lyman and his band. Connie Stevens is super, as usual.
10 Stars, especially for fans of Dawn Wells. SEASON 3 EPISODE 28 remastered WB dvd box set.
