From the few episodes I've watched so far, The Naked City was certainly one of the most accomplished and sophisticated TV police dramas ever. The caliber of the writing and acting and location cinematography was superior.
In this episode, Dan Durea, Barbara Harris, and a likable semi-delinquent who has an innocent attraction to her (name?) all give compelling believable performances.
I've never seen a TV show with the sort of story depicted here; it's quite a fascinating look at a violent and obsessive father, who genuinely loves his innocent daughter, but all but pimps her out to entice young men, so he can beat the sh*t out of them.
