Did you know
- TriviaLorna's home is the same set as The Brady Bunch (1969) home.
- GoofsIt appears that Frank Marr agreed to pay the $5 million for the heroin which was to be conveyed in the suitcase Lorna bought. But a million dollars can't even fit into a foot locker (despite the fact criminals are often shown on TV being able to fit such amounts into a briefcase). The only way the 5 million would have fit would have been to use the out-of-circulation $100,000 bills, which would have been useless to everyone.

Lt. Art Malcolm: [Joe and Art are meeting in the middle of a bridge; Joe is going to pretend to kill Art] They bought it, huh?
Joe Mannix: So far.
Lt. Art Malcolm: I hope you haven't forgotten how to miss.
Joe Mannix: I hope you haven't forgotten how to swim.

Featured review
JOE THE DRUGGIE ON THE EDGE?
What a way to close out the last episode of the season --Joe a heroin addict? OR is HE?
Malcolm (Ward Wood) is just as surprised as we are to learn this, or is he onto the charade? Daniel Ullman put this all together, a specialist in adventure, though his pet projects were generally movie and tv westerns. The catch here is the audience is left more in the dark about Mannix's serious condition than the bad guys? Watch very carefully.
Ullman also adds a touch of dark comedy; the drug dealer's gal friend (well played by Linda Evans) is residing in the wholesome Brady Bunch house (or whats left of the set since the show was cancelled).
Evans took some time off from THE BIG VALLEY tv show when it ended, returning in the early 1970s to appear in cops shows, also MCCLOUD and BANACEK. She followed this episode with an appearance on HARRY O, starring David Janssen. A very beautiful and talented actress, soon to go on to tv super stardom.
One curious thing that's been bantered about. Lorna (Evans) buys a suitcase for the drug mastermind to carry five million bucks in heroin cash money. It's unlikely, unless you had uncirculated 100,000 dollar bills in there, or other exceptionally large notes. Poetic license 101 strikes once again, though it's kind of cool to watch the whole thing. That mistake has been made in several movies also --just how much cash can you (believably) squeeze into a briefcase or suitcase?
Regis Cordic is excellent as the creepy drug dealer who slips Mannix heroin. Cordic was a popular Hollywood DJ, who replaced Bob Crane on KNX Radio when he joined HOGANS HEROES. Reliable heavy Don Gordon co-stars as Frank. Also in the cast is Roger Perry as Sgt. Fletcher and Robert Ito, making a second series appearance, playing a doctor.
Super Classic scene; Mannix and Malcolm on the bridge. DON'T miss it. All in all, well worth your viewing time as this is something different.
SEASON 7 finale remastered color CBS dvd box set.
