Featured review
DAZED AND CONFUSED SOMEWHERE IN HOLLYWOOD.
After being blinded, albeit briefly, the previous season, and considering how many whacks to the head Joe got --it was high time to give him amnesia.
Paul Krasny directed, behind 28 classic episodes, and not pulling back here. In fact, this story may be one of the most violent for Mannix in the show's first four seasons. About this time CBS was also searching for another tough as nails private eye, thus opening the door for CANNON. It all fits together, and with very similar stories.
Frank Telford wrote this episode, along with so many others for IRONSIDE and HAWAII FIVE O. This story takes a different slant as Joe wakes up in a hospital, Peggy again at his side, saddled with the task of piecing together flashbacks of a young lady being murdered. Bottom line, kill or be killed as hitmen are now coming for him, and these guys play for keeps.
The ratings at the time were slipping a bit, and it seemed to take slam, bang episodes like this to turn things around. The subsequent 71-72 season saw the series literally jump to #7 in the top ten. Quick thinking!
Two super actresses headline this episode; British Kate Woodville (as Vera), in her second series appearance, a STAR TREK alumnus. Francine York plays Gloria, another cult tv figure who portrayed Lydia Limpet on BATMAN. She was also a favorite of Jerry Lewis and cast in many of his comedies. This episode would also mark the final screen apperance of actress Georgine Darcy (as Billie), whose claim to fame was playing the ballet dancer, called Miss Torso, in the Hitchcock film REAR WINDOW. She said in later years that Hitch told her he could make her a star, but never took him seriously.
Milton Selzer, a terrific dramatic actor, plays Lieutenant Strauss and J. Pat O'Malley plays a bartender, a part he seemed a natural for, if not turning up as handymen, gardeners, all with the gift of gab. It's tough to see Joe get beat up here --and yes, I agree with the last reviewer, you can see the stuntmen, although it's kind of interesting if you're a cop show buff.
10 Stars.
Filmed again in the vacinity of Los Feliz, not that far from the Los Feliz Towers where many episodes were shot, a few miles from Paramount. SEASON 4 Episode 15 remastered color CBS/Paramount dvd box set.
