Night life


From the first episode of Perry Mason, "The Case of the Restless Redhead." Perry (Raymond Burr, in 1957) is at home when the phone rings. It's a transfer from The Drake Detective Agency. You can tell Perry is relaxing. He's not wearing his wristwatch and he is wearing a satin-trimmed smoking jacket.

Paul Drake is at home when the phone rings. It's Perry Mason with a request/demand for information about a car license. Paul is playing poker with his buddies and he is exasperated. But he comes through.
