Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe ambulance run footage was used in earlier weeks. The same Safeway store and General tire signs are seen.
- GoofsAt the end, as Mannix is being chased up the hill, Chris Townsend (Dean Stockwell) shoots at him as he runs passed the passenger side of the car. When they show Charlotte was shot by his bullet it shows that it came from the front windshield. Which is totally impossible from where the bullet was shot.
- Quotes
Joe Mannix: Please, sit down.
Gwen Townsend: Thank you. First, I'd like to make sure of something. The report you filed with the sheriff about seeing something on the terrace. You haven't changed your mind, have you?
Joe Mannix: No.
Gwen Townsend: Are you absolutely positive you saw them?
Joe Mannix: Positive.
Gwen Townsend: I was hoping you would say that. Mr. Mannix, we would like to hire you.
Joe Mannix: We?
Gwen Townsend: My brother and I. He's been getting a little better lately.
Joe Mannix: I'm glad to hear that. Why do you want to hire me?
Gwen Townsend: I think Chris is in danger.
Joe Mannix: Because the two men who killed his wife are still walking around somewhere?
Gwen Townsend: Yes. And they know Chris saw them. The way Chris has been, they haven't had to worry about being identified. But if they find out his mind is beginning to come back... As a matter of fact, he's being released tomorrow. Ted Hanlon, who's been taking care of him at the sanitarium, is going to stay with him until he can manage on his own.
This episode isn't a dud. It's entertaining, exciting and the main reason I'm doing this review is because of Dean Stockwell. I also heard about his passing and it's quite a coincidence that this episode just played on MeTV minutes ago. Dean was an excellent actor. He was one of those dependable actors that you KNEW you'd get a terrific performance in anything he did. I enjoyed him on this episode, during all of Quantum Leap and he truly shone in his appearances on "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour". The man truly did so much throughout his career and I'm sure a lot of people will be chiming in on various sites about their favorite Dean Stockwell projects.
I'd heard he was in poor health the last few years of his life so I'm glad he's no longer suffering. He truly left behind a vault of terrific performances that will continue to live on. RIP Dean.
