Donna Baccala was gorgeous
TheFearmakers16 September 2022
A chance to see Donna Baccala, one of the most beautiful actress from this period, with high-cheekbones, exotic eyes and soft-white skin, boy oh boy she's something, and is the second actress from Dennis Hopper's follow year's THE LAST MOVIE to have a guest spot here following Julie Adams...

But Michael Onkean is the important character here and yes, as is the plot-device of the entire series, he's a friend, or rather, son of a friend... someone he knows that's accused of murder, a young soldier who also stages protests against the war, and his war-loving MP got killed taking him back to the barracks...

Again it's an episode full of questions and answers and not much urgency going on here, but seeing Donna Baccala is always good because we didn't get to enough... she plays a hippie girl here but not as important as the slain man's wispy southern belle wife, Lynne Marta (shown on the main picture)...

What starts out a kind of anti-war thing gets into a complicated yet intriguing sting operation, making this one better in the 11th hour, which includes Dan being beat up, like all good gumshoe-types do, only it takes two men for the job.
