As we near the end of the series, you begin to see Cannon's temper really flair! There's good reason as Frank gets mixed up with some deadly folks (the Greek mafia) attempting to prove that a wealthy man's son did not commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.
As the last reviewer noted, there's also a taboo subject explored here (and truly a credit to the series) as its believed the man's son was gay. In an interesting scene, Cannon goes through the young man's suitcase in Acapulco and finds a "controversial" paperback book. The series also dealt with gay themes in earlier seasons. One of the reasons CANNON is still around in reruns.
Credit Bill Conrad's old colleague at Warner Brothers/ABC, Robert C. Dennis, who also wrote for PERRY MASON, HAWAII FIVE O and DRAGNET. A top writer for cop shows.
Also a fond FAREWELL to beautiful Nancy Kovack as Charlotte, who made this her very last role before changing careers and accompanying her famous conductor husband on a world tour. Kovack was a dynamic actress, who reminded me of Beverly Garland, especially the hair styles. For all us cult fans, Nancy played Queeny in BATMAN. Good trivia question.
David Wharf directed, who directed multiple episodes of BATMAN, also the STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO. He was a child actor and appeared in many western tv shows and probably also worked for Conrad at WB. Look for one of the best character actors, Tito Vandis as Sosa. Vandis was a one of a kind actor who could make you laugh out loud, and also do some fine dramatic roles. Watch him.
Neat footnote; Priscilla Barnes (THREES COMPANY) has a bit role here, if you can spot her quickly (the blonde girl in the diving scene). Once again, proving CANNON opened the door for lots of new faces and new careers.
NOT to be missed, especially this great cast. SEASON 5 EPISODE 24. Feb 1976 remastered CBS dvd box set.
