Backstage mystery

Nothing exceptional in this episode, although it is fairly done, directed and with a good script. I won't repeat the topic, far better explained than I would have done. The only thing is that I would have never expected to see Linda Darnell in such a series, because I did not know she appeared in TV stuff. Otherwise, why not after all? You have no comedy accents here, only fast paced mystery noir story with a solid ending that takes place backstage. Darnell plays the female lead character.

Not exceptional but, I repeat, fairly good.

Directed by George Waggner

Diva in trouble

None other than the Los Angeles Opera company hires Bailey&Spencer in a matter of security and investigation. Neil Hamilton as head of the opera is concerned about his star Linda Darnell because strange and dangerous things are happening around her. As the episode opened she's clocked by a falling sandbag. I thought this story would be a miniature phantom of the opera, but it settles into a decent mystery.

Darnell's been being blackmailed for some time. Efrem Zimbalist unknown to Darnell brings in Roscoe, Kookie, and Suzanne in to keep Darnell watched at all times. Louis Quinn nearly gets killed, but it's Jacqueline Beer who actually cracks the case.

As I said a decent mystery with an opera company full of suspects.
