It was such a treat to tune into Perry Mason and see one of my favorite actresses - Bette Davis - in the lead role. Perry only shows up briefly in this episode (Raymond Burr was having surgery). Bette plays a widowed lawyer who defends a young client with the help of Paul Drake. It's a typical Perry Mason case with a big courtroom scene and some shocking reveals. Bette gives a wonderful Emmy worthy performance! There were so few female lawyers on TV in the 60s. I just wish someone had given her a spin off series.
