Veteran Erna Lazarus wrote this adventurous and very poignant episode, certainly one of the best of the season.
Beautiful Sharon Hugueny guest stars as Ellie who is essential in the case of a well known artist who is murdered. Tracy teams with Ellie to find the elusive killer, although it gets a bit complicated because she's totally blind! Hugueny, who was a protege of producer Jack Warner at the time, is quite convincing in this rare role, and should have gotten an Emmy nod.
A combination of both top writing and directing by Edward Dein, who handled some excellent scenes with Sharon Hugueny. And wait for the ending.
Good support from Robert Hutton and Richard Davalos as Mickey. Special guest star is entertainer Sterling Mossman and his band. Mossman was the real-life brother of series co-star Douglas, though strangely they have no scenes together.
Writer Erna Lazarus was also writing scripts for SURFSIDE 6 at the time. She was one of only a few acclaimed female writers in the 1940s who worked steadily in Hollywood for decades, passing at 102 in 2006.
SEASON 2 EPISODE 18 remastered. Thanks to ME TV for showing this classic series on Sunday nights along with 77 SUNSET STRIP. Terrific combo.
