Featured review
THE RIDDLER AND HIS FELONIOUS FILMSTERS!
Charles Rondeau directed this episode with his usual campy flair, a long time resident of Warner Brothers tv, behind such classics as 77 SUNSET STRIP.
The Riddler (Frank Gorshin) continues his wild tricks, now settling in Hollywood with the intention of filming a silent movie with Batman and Robin, especially for a classic film collector. The legendary silent screen star Francis X. Bushman (in one of his last roles) plays Mr. Van Jones, the hearty collector, who also has a vault of rare films worth a fortune --which the Riddler desires.
There's a fun scene as wise, old Commissioner Gordon (Neil Hamilton) gets a personal tour of the Bat Cave and tries out a new Bat potion on the Riddler's moll (Pauline), played by beautiful Sherry Jackson (from the DANNY THOMAS SHOW). This must have been a sentimental episode; both Hamilton and Bushman were old movie stars, and surely knew each other.
Best scene has the Riddler taunting Robin, making him walk on a building ledge, all while eccentric director von Blofeld films everything. There's more gags and flying pies??
Question: Why does a cowboy wear a belt? To HOLD UP his pants! And the robbery begins, old west style, with the Riddler and his mob dressing up as desperadoes
Stay Tuned! SEASON 1 EPISODE 32 dvd box set.
