WHERE CAN I FIND A GOOD DOCTOR?
Without too, too much surprise, legendary writer William Link, who co-created COLUMBO, MURDER SHE WROTE, and also had a hand in creating MANNIX, wrote this unforgettable episode for Hitch.
Steve Dunne, who appeared many times on the show, I think was chosen by Hitchcock because he had that "nice guy, have a beer with" look. He was a very popular actor, in some classic films, and a Hollywood DJ for years. Dunne, interestingly, plays the man with NO name, a victim of circumstances?
He's involved in an accident --which robs him of his memory. He also has a 1,000 bill on him, which gets you wondering what the deal is. It is such an intriguing premise, and you feel sorry for Dunne, again faithfully playing that everyday guy caught in a strange situation.
All roads lead to a doctor, played by Hugh Marlowe, who always reminded me of Richard Carlson. Obviously, Dunne does need some medical help... and... watch how it all falls together. Truly, if you guess how it all ends, you deserve the very best kewpie doll!
Again, this shows why William Link was such as masterful writer, and he must have given Hitch a few chuckles at lunch. You could only imagine these two icons sitting down together to chat.
A must, no execuses. See this one. SEASON 7, EPISODE 10 remastered Universal dvd box set.
