Court of Last Resort, 12 November 2007
4/10
Author: BCattivabrutto from United States

Having had the opportunity of seeing a few episodes of this show, which I had previously been unaware of, I have to disagree with the previous poster. Of the four or five episodes I saw, one had the CoLR finding the suspect guilty of the crime he had been accused of. I don't think one needs to make everything a matter of present-day politics, especially an inconsequential and probably largely forgotten (despite the participation of Erle Stanley Gardner) show from the 1950s.

Watching the episodes I thought this show would still work today. I have to say that I like the one-half hour format for dramas. So many shows today are padded with fat. The half hour format really forces the writers to be economic in their storytelling.

I saw this in Mill Creek Entertainment's 150 episode "Best of TV Detectives" pack. This has a number of obscure mystery series from the 1950s and early sixties on 12 DVDs. Well worth the $20 price tag.
