Perry Mason: The Case of the Tragic Trophy (1964)
Season 8, Episode 9
7/10
Talented Cast Overcomes Ordinary Script
12 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The cast in this one is better known than some episodes. John Fielder is a veteran actor of a lot of series and serves pretty well in this one. Richard Carlson had done a lot of motion picture work in the 1950's and is pretty well known.

The script is pretty straight forward. There is a shady movie producer who has produced an outstanding film, but can not get it released because he has run out of money. In trying to get the money to release the film, he makes several enemies and one of them kills him.

Mason's client is a woman who strikes the victim and all the physical evidence points to her. The script though is a little too obvious in the way the murder happens that you can almost guess who the murderer is and when they did it (at least it was too me).

With this cast this is an entertaining entry in the series, though it does not even make Mason break a sweat to figure out who-dun-it.
