17. This Peter Gunn series
A few are par for the course in plot, some are intriguing. Thing is, at just over 25minutes running time, there’s not a lot of plot you can fit in there. The commercials must have been horrendous … what, four minutes each half hour? The companies were ripping the public off something awful … at least the ads were in blocks and you could go to the kitchen for coffee or light up or whatever.
The Peter Gunns therefore needed a tad more than the usual mob boss gets taken down plot and by and large … there were intriguing endings, after one or two “misleads” along the way. This episode yet to be shown here, but I watched this afternoon, was not bad at all.
So I’ll review now with as few spoilers as poss. Showgirl is killed … shan’t say how but it’s spectacular … was it suicide, an accident, or as Peter thinks, natch … something more? With the mislead over with, the seemingly real culprit enters the fray and here’s where the writing earns plaudits … the central question is not quite resolved … audiences would certainly have discussed it afterwards.
Think I can let slip that it’s the same old same old about attraction and being played … more after I run the episode.
