THE CASE OF THE SHOOTING STAR is one of the weakest Perry Mason TV movies I can remember watching. Everything about it is predictable and hackneyed without a single memorable plot incident. Even the opening murder is fumbled and doesn't seem realistic at all. Burr and Hale do their best here even though their characters are stuck going through the motions. William Katt has even less to do than normal and it's no wonder he ended up quitting the series when the writing was this poor.
