An episode almost too complex for a 25 minute "Children's TV Show" from the 1950's, yet the superb writing and excellent character development pull it off very well. Only the 4th Episode into the first Season and "Sky King" continues to impress. Also really noticeable in this episode is the growing strong affectionate rapport between Kirby Grant(Sky King) and Gloria Winters (Penny King).
Watch for Myron Healey, one of those great character actors, who often portrayed bad guys and heavies in Movie/TV Westerns & Crime Dramas from the mid-1940's up into the early 1990's. Healey is another of those great character actors whose name sadly, is often not remembered, but whose face is never forgotten.
Also watch for Charles Stevens, a versatile character actor who started during the first silent days of Hollywood in 1915, acting in "BIRTH OF A NATION"! He was a memorable bad guy in "THE BIG TRAIL" (1930), John Wayne's first starring role, under the direction of legendary director Raoul Walsh.
