Peter Gunn: Lady Windbell's Fan (1959)
Season 1, Episode 33
Pete and the Magic Fan
1 February 2018
So what's with the fan people are literally dying over. It's fancy but otherwise pretty ordinary . Plus, nothing can be hidden in it. Still, it's the crux of this exotic episode that takes Pete to Chinatown and an elderly patriarch straight out of Shangri-La (Hale, in a ton of make-up). On other hand, looks like our sleek hero really earns his money in a fistfight that wrecks about every gizmo in the prop room. I hope they used a double when he takes that bad tumble down the stairs, otherwise this could have been the final episode. Anyway, it's a nifty 30-minutes with colorful characters and the usual series flair. Good also to see Dragnet stalwart Vic Perrin picking up a payday, though I could have used more of the winsome "sing-song dance girl" (Fong). Solid if different kind of entry.
