Featured review
Hilarious, hissy-fight during hearing livens up the proceedings.
As if typical of "The Defenders", the episode is well-written and engrossing, a fine example of courtroom drama at its best. But, along with the overall serious subject matter of the plot, the author and director utilized the dry, comedic talents of Alan Hewitt (as the Senator/judge) and the overwrought, queenly ravings of William Le Masenna (as the opposing attorney), whose petulant, caustic rivalry keeps the tense proceedings in a continual state of dramatic......ambivalence.
Somehow, it all works out, since (IMHO) the comic element meshes nicely with the drama, especially since it keeps the lively, well-defined interaction of the characters....including Crahan Denton, Rex Everhart, Philip Bruns, and Andrew Prine...continually engaging. LR
