I was sitting here watching Perry Mason again. It was "The Case of the Golden Girls" based on Erle Stanley Gardner's The Case of the Vagabond Virgin. I was surprised they would put that title on the screen. The opening shot of one scene was a close-up of a young woman's butt as she walks away from the camera wearing a daring two-piece swimsuit. I don't think they would do that on TV today.
The episode revolves around a Playboy-like magazine.
You know that episode of Gilligan's Island where the rock band called The Mosquitos are on the island and Mrs Howell, Ginger and Mary Ann form a girl band and sing a song called "You Need Us"? Well, the instrumental version of that song is playing in the Playboy Club-like club when police come in to arrest Perry's client.
"That's weird," I thought. "That guy looks and sounds like Crispin Glover."
I looked it up on imdb.com. It was Bruce Glover, Crispin's father. I realized I recognized him from other movies and TV shows. He was in Diamonds Are Forever. But he didn't seem so Crispen Glover-like on other roles.
Seems to be a remake of an earlier episode.
Here's a trick for you: If you have to pay a blackmailer, pay by check. And carefully trace your own signature onto the check then call the banks and tell them that someone has been forging your name on checks. Then, when the blackmailer goes to cash your check with an obviously traced signature, he'll be arrested. His only defense from a forgery charge will be to admit he was blackmailing you. So you blackmail him by holding the forgery charge over his head.
