Death in disguise Assassins in disguise were very popular in the 70s, largely due to Frederick Forsyth's hugely successful book 'The Day of the Jackal' and it's film adaptation. Here we have Diana horseriding, you always wondered what she did for a hobby. Indrezzano is a sexist jerk "That's impossible, you're a woman" but WW shows him the error of his ways. Note the team of assassins make their only female member work as their secretary and it's her that mispells IRAC as CARI. Really it's an OK episode but it's nothing great. I always think that the more outrageous and science fictiony the story the better it is, too many generic gangsters in suits in the show to my liking 6/10, OK

death in disguise

An attempt on Diana Prince's life give her a clue that elusive assassin for hire Woodward Nightingale has a contract out on a target with the initials 'C. R. A. I.' International Industrialist
An okay episode with a good performance by George Chakiris as a rich lothario who Diana Prince is hired to guard. Poor girl can't get his roving eyes off him. He thinks he sway any girl with his charm but finds that ability a challenge with Diana. There's a good horse racing scene in the beginning, and a really dodgy assassin in disguise.

Not bad, but with a wasted George Chakiris

Warning: Spoilers
This is the episode where we learn that Wonder Woman can travel 47 miles in less than 4 minutes.
Which begs the nagging questions, why would Wonder Woman ever need a motorcycle? How and why could any villains ever escape Wonder Woman's grasp?
The more serious question is: why George Chakaris is so poorly used in this episode? 17 years after West Side Story, Chakaris looks as handsome and debonair as he did in 1961.
The producers basically make George Chakiris the "comic relief" of the episode, which feels like a real waste of Chakiris's charisma and talent.
The plot itself, while unduly complicated by too many villains running around. It was also marred by a pair of bubblingly ineffective henchmen, who serve mainly as more comic relief.
Still, this episode had an interesting plot, with a twist of dyslexia thrown into the mix at the end, that was cleverly done.
Feeling generous, I give this a rating of 7, but 6.5 would be more accurate.
