Did you know
- TriviaThe same female extra in an orange dress is seen three different times in the early hotel scenes. In the first, she passes by Phelps towards the front door as he enters and walks through the lobby. In the second after his meeting with Layton, Phelps is walking out of the hotel, and she is seen exiting on his left. In the last while Phelps is speaking with the hotel manager, she is seen approaching the front desk.
- GoofsWhen Gen. Neyron is playing Solitaire, he lays the 7 of diamonds on the 8 of spades. When the shot returns to his hand and his vision fades in and out, there is nothing on the 8 of spades and the 7 of diamonds is still in his hand, but the 9 of diamonds is gone.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you are looking at is General Ernesto Neyron. The former dictator of Suranaica who now lives in exile at his closely-guarded Miami estate. In order to finance a military coup which will return him to power, Neyron is about to conclude a deal with this man, Frank Layton, a top syndicate leader. In exchange for several million dollars, Neyron has agreed to legalize gambling in Suranaica and give all rights to the syndicate. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to stop Neyron and the syndicate. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
It another mob story --which are always exciting-- and leading the pact is noneother than versatile Albert Paulson, playing General Neyron. One of those I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine deals. Neyron, who is living in exile in Miami, teams with mobster Frank Layton (Warren Stevens) who will pour money into a coup which will insure him a return to power --IF-- he legalizes gambling casinos. Not a bad deal, if you're the crooked type, obviously the general getting the best of it.
The M. I. team subsequently descends on Neyron's estate, cleverly gaining access and throwing a monkeywrench into the best laid plans. Paulson is super in this role, appearing in four additional episodes. He was born in Ecuador, though specialized in European roles, especially playing Germans.
Good writing on the part of Robert E. Thompson, popular with westerns, like HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL and BONANZA.
I agree with the goof notes, yes, there's a lady wearing an orange dress who pops up multiple times in a hotel scene. Common mistakes in many tv shows, although considering the fashion industry, designers may have wanted to get lots of exposure for their dress. Very clever, but who knows?
SEASON 3 EPISODE 10 remastered CBS/Paramount dvd box set. 7 dvd set.
