By the time this aired in late 1967, the show was clearly on borrowed time. Still, one treat here is the famous Cossack Dance Batgirl (played by Yvonne Craig) does. Her dance background really kicks in here.
And the pair-up of Egghead and Olga is a good one. In real life, Vincent Price and Anne Baxter. You could tell the two of them liked working with each other.
But one thing that Adam West rightfully had a gripe about was the deteriorating quality of the scripts. This is no exception, since the character of Batman has been reduced to a parody worthy of "Monty Python's Flying Circus." For an 8-year-old kid in 1967, very disappointing. No wonder why I switched to John Steed and Emma Peel.
Today, though, I appreciate Yvonne's performance. All the performers deserved better than this somewhat pedestrian script.
