As wise dear old Nat tells Charlie: "Darling, please take the long view -- seven years of financial security" You almost have to agree with Hoff, repulsive and misogynistic as he is: "The woman should stay out of her husband's business when he is providing the bread and butter" ...

(Not that PERRY would've noticed) Speaking of, I can't help but take interest in the fact that over the course of the seasons, numerous PERRY MASON episodes feature bit parts for lean , boyish ...

He was terrific as Drake. Of course we're so used to seeing him that way it's hard to imagine him as Perry. I can't remember Perry wearing anything other than a dark suit, whereas Paul had more jazzy ones. Considering how few people actually come to Perry's office over the course of an episode Gert...

I remember the Breathless remake being ok. Not great, but not awful (if you didn't compare it to the original) I don't remember that much about it. Think it was set in L.A. I think it did middling box office.

LOL! Hopper was good casting as Drake. I don't think he could've carried the show as Perry. I don't think it would've been the long running hit it became. Perry needed someone with gravitas. "Star Quality". Burr had it. Hopper was a good supporting actor. I never realized they ever showed...

i was always bummed we never got to see ADELE. Would've been an EPIC GUEST ARC for MARY WURONOV**. **Who, yes, I know- appeared in the season 2 episode JESSICA BEHIND BARS. LOL! I just saw JESSICA BEHIND BARS over the wknd! Which role did [MARY WURONOV] play? ONE OF THE GUARDS, I mean, c'mon, that'...

oh wow, I didn't know they ever showed GERTIE on the show (PERRY MASON) I always thought she was a "MARIS"- shows you what happens when you only have access to syndication. I always pictured GERTIE as working out of THE BROOM CLOSET and looking more or less like this: https://i0.wp.com/bl...

(she is of course chained to the table and DELLA pays her in cigarette nubs, of which there are plenty) EDIT: and yeah, she gets high on the correction fluid- who THE HELL are YOU to JUDGE?

Bingo Long is one I'd like to see.

Yes, that was unusual for a male star at the time. Still is.

Yes, Raymond Burr's attention was directed elsewhere! LOL. This being a family show, they couldn't really show Della really coming on to Perry, but you get the impression she was available if he was willing........At least Della wasn't stuck being the receptionist. They had Gertie for that. Yeah, I...

I'm glad that ElCid and Hibi see THE BIG KNIFE just as I do. It will make DARK PASSAGE seem like a flawless masterpiece by comparison. I watched the intro to hear Eddie talk about why THE BIG KNIFE would be considered noir. Eddie mentioned 1) a secret from the past (many non-noir films have that el...

And starring MISS SHELLEY WINTERS as Dixie Evans! Who came up with THAT billing? I was so unimpressed with the film, I forgot to check this thread! PU!!! It was static and as hammy as I (vaguely) remembered it! Hard to say who was the hammiest, Steiger or Palance. (At least Steiger wasn't in the wh...
