Taking of Pelham One..., 13 juin 2008

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

In the mid-1960's, long running series often tried to broaden their appeal to hip, young viewers by doing a show featuring their versions of hip, young people. More often than not, these episodes are embarrassing failures. "The Case of the Careless Kidnapper" is no exception.

David Pelham (Tom Lowell, who played Billy Nelson on "Combat!") takes "the gang" home to meet his parents. After an amazing exchange of square, unreal and unhip dialog, they arrive at his home, only to find his father Greg Pelham (Peter Hobbs) in a argument with his mother Susan (Marilyn Erskine). This so embarrasses young David, who was just telling everyone how great his parents are, that he goes on a drinking binge, swearing never to come home again. Apparently he has NEVER seen his parents argue or something like that. His incredibly arch and sour buddy Michael (Mark Slade) makes sure David gets real drunk and takes him to the unlikely location of a "abandoned" freighter in the harbor (coool location but I mean how realistic is that? Sounds like something out of a "Scooby-Doo" episode) and then sends a note to David's parents claiming he's been kidnapped.

David's mom shows up and knocks Michael off the side of the freighter when she hits him with her purse. He falls to the dock, apparently dead. But later, he turns up alive and a different man is found on the dock. He's someone who was trying to blackmail Dr. Greg Pelham. So Perry has a new client.

Besides the terrible "hip" dialog and strange reaction of David to a parental fight, the story is convoluted, Regina Gleason puts in a pretty bad performance as alcoholic film star Mary Manning and the way Perry "catches" the real killer (saying a microscope can be used the same way one would use binoculars to read the reflection of someone dialing a safe combination across a room off the mirror on a doctor's head!) is beyond belief.
