David Hasselhoff never looked or acted better. Another reviewer complained about Paul Drake "losing" suspects.It isn't the job of an investigator to apprehend only to keep surveillance and monitor activities of those assigned. Also that Perry Mason was not the Perry of the late 50,s. You will not be disappointed by a Perry Mason who has been asked by John Ireland,the man that gave Perry his first job out of law school to defend Hasselhoff,the man that married his "niece". William Katt's last appearance as Paul Drake, Barbara Hale's real life son. This is one of the better entries in the Perry Mason made-for- television movies..with no real clue as to the outcome until the final quarter hour that plays out. Anyone ever see the real resemblance between Doran Clark in this episode as well as Emerald Point NAS and the ex-girlfriend of NCIS' Tony Di Noza? Although they are two different actresses, it is uncanny. You will not be disappointed by the outcome or the performances by all involved. I really liked the judge. Check it out.
