Season 5, Episode 32
10/10
THE LADY IS DANGEROUS.
13 May 2024
Crime drama and soap opera combo, well written by Dean Riesner, who went on to write DIRTY HARRY, and many other hits for Clint Eastwood.

Lovely Karen Sharpe plays Paula, the contemporary dragon lady, who cons lots of rich men. Her latest victim is a successful Hollywood realtor, stealing his books while --at the same time -- romancing a young guy on the side. Stu enters the case and discovers she's a master manipulator, and with few regrets.

However, there's a very interesting ending. Wait and see how it all turns out.

Excellent directing by Robert Sparr, who also directed several episodes for HAWAIIN EYE. The back and forth between between Stu and Paula are fun to watch. Karen Sharpe really makes the most of her role, and is absolutely beautiful. Sharpe later gained fame by marrying producer Stanley Kramer.

Early tv role for Yvonne Craig (BATGIRL) who plays Willie and also sings. And she's not a bad singer.

Also look for young Bernie Kopell as Andy, in a small dramatic role. Special appearance from veteran actor Ed Prentiss as Mr. Cortland. Prentiss gained fame on radio as CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT.

SEASON 5 EPISODE 32 remastered. Many thanks to METV for running this classic series along with HAWAIIN EYE on Sunday nights.
