Featured review
THREE HOMICIDES, AND CANNON MAY BE NEXT!
After all his years as a director, William Conrad showed he definitely was still quite an actor. I think what producer Quinn Martin was trying to do was a little experimenting. So... this episode finds Cannon as an amateur sea captain, touching up his boat. To tell you the truth, he still looked like a retired director.
The fun does not last long. Three people are killed, there are witnesses who won't talk, and in steps a desperate young woman called Nina ( Carol Rosson) who wants Cannon to find her missing brother. At first he doesn't take her very seriously, until the road leads to mob boss Harold Gould. Gould is perfect for this type of role, originally an acting teacher who quit to jump in front of cameras himself.
This is an intriguing story that starts to build slowly. One of Quinn Martin's most reliable directors, William Hale handled the episode, note some nice beach shots that turn a bit ominous very quickly. Hale directed such classic shows as THE FBI and the INVADERS.
Carol Rosson was an accomplished actress in her own right; her famous father, Robert Rossen, wrote many top screenplays, including BODY AND SOUL (1947), the grand daddy of boxing films, and co-starring William Conrad. Good trivia question.
There's action in this one, the junk yard truck chase and game of hide and seek with the goons is a lot of fun. Bill Conrad obviously didn't do all the stunts, but he did many through the years and we kids loved this stuff.
Writer Jack Turley is to be credited for writing some excellent dialogue, and the scene where Nina nearly shoots Gould herself is a gem. Veteran actress Rose Hobart (DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE) plays Nina's mother, a regular on PEYTON PLACE in the 60s. Gruff and tough RG Armstrong plays the sheriff.
Very clever ending that actually has a house-full of witnesses. This bit was also used on an episode of COLUMBO. The only episode where we catch Cannon wearing shorts! Question; does Nina have a slight crush on Cannon?
Filmed at beautiful Marina del Rey, about five miles from Santa Monica.
SEASON 1 EPISODE 9 remastered CBS/Paramount dvd box set #1 of 2, 4 disc set, 10 hrs.
