Storyline
Featured review
Intriguing relationship between the two romantic leads.
The relationship between Lee Philips and Lois Smith is complex and intriguing; it's well-written, well-directed, and very well acted---especially the scene in the back room of the library where Lee returns from his "Bon Voyage" outing with Linc n' Tod.
I've always liked Lee Phillips, who portrayed calm, tough and "cool" characters convincingly... a difficult thing to pull off. There's something special about his confidence and cockiness, with flashes of wit and sarcasm, that keeps me involved in what he's doing, and the scene I mentioned above is a great example.
The ultimate resolution of this show was not particularly satisfying...as if the author and director had to end things in a neat and tidy way to get to the final credits.Also, I'd say we have a case of justifiable homicide in the opening scene; those two boorish jerks on the boat were BEYOND obnoxious. No one could blame Lee for dumping them overboard.
Unfortunately, the tendency of the two "sister productions"-- Route 66 and Naked City--to play most of the local, secondary characters as cartoon-y CARICATURES continues to undermine the dramatic quality of these shows. The old lady in the opening is OK, but Elizabeth McRae's air-head, sex-kitten thing is SO overdone that it's barely watchable. It definitely detracts from the tone of the drama.
The Linc = good,/compassionate guy and Tod = impatient/boorish guy routine has, by this point in the 4th season, become predictable and ineffective. But with only a few more episodes to go, there's no point in complaining. And even though I like Glenn Corbett, Maharis was a better, more versatile actor, who could play EITHER role-- kind/compassionate OR impatient/boorish--- equally well.
ALSO- the scene with Lee Philips driving the Corvette on the beach gave Nelson Riddle a brief opportunity to "open up" in his best free-wheeling, swingin', 60's musical idiom.
