Mission: Impossible: The Amnesiac (1969)
Season 4, Episode 13
8/10
Familiar MI plot line, but enjoyable
1 December 2021
This episode is built around a story type that was very popular with the show's producers: villain knows the location of something, or information about something, and must be tricked into revealing it. What helps make this episode stand out are three very good guest stars.

Anthony Zerbe was in 5 MI episodes, and Steve Ihnat was in 3. They are excellent as always; here they are officers in some country behind the Iron Curtain (could be East Germany, say). They are in episodes like this one, that the fans really like, because they show the MI force as either working overseas, similar to the CIA, or clearly as intelligence agents if Stateside.

Season 4 was a very interesting season, because it was the only season in which there was no woman agent who was a regular member of the MI team. This time, that job goes to beautiful Julie Gregg. The producers must have been pleased, as they brought her back to guest star in a Season 5 episode. Fans will enjoy this episode, which is so much enhanced by these three outstanding guest stars.
