Since my 1970s childhood this two-parter has been a favourite! You just hang on The Minstrel's every word because he looks like he is having such a good time. His sexy co-worker - Octavia - is one of the best female characters to appear in the whole Batman series. And on top of all this we have Nelson Riddle's brainwashing music playing over it all!
Attention Irwin Allen fans: Yes, that is the Lost In Space/Time Tunnel motor sound effect used in this two-parter.
Granted, I am a little bothered by the final act of part two when The Minstrel makes it a bit too easy for Batman to find Minstrel, but I can forgive that. I am fully aware that Van Johnson had a large body of work behind him here but, to me, he will always be The Minstrel, one of Batman's coolest bad guys ever!
