This episode was a little more zesty than many in this arc of the Perry Mason series. It featured a despicable man who hits on every woman he sees. He's an art expert who offers room and board to a student if the young woman will be a companion to his incapacitated wife. The young woman is played by the striking Margaret Blye, who is still active in show business.
The show opens with an extended scene in a car out at night in a heavy rainstorm. The occupants are the art critic and his wife and they are deep in the throes of a nasty argument. It goes on so long you wish them both dead. The critic eventually is the murder victim, so there is that.
Anyway, right at the end of the show Paul Drake gets in a zinger. Been a while since I've heard one of those. The Margaret Blye character has done a portrait of Perry as payment for his services as her defense attorney.
PD: I bet even Hamilton Burger would like one of those. Perry Mason – hanging. In oil.
