This Peter Gunn adventure features the greatest voice Chevy Trucks ever had: James Coburn. A young James Coburn (with DARK hair!). This was a few years before "Our Man Flint" - but even this early in his career, if a director needed intensity from Coburn, he GOT it! Unfortunately, Coburn's character, Bud Bailey, reputed to be one of the world's best jazz TRUMPET men (NOT trombone, as mentioned in the previous review) turns up as a corpse early on. Or does he? In an even earlier scene when Pete meets Bud at his home, Gunn finds Bud alone, playing his own recordings (most likely Pete Candoli did the actual KILLER trumpet playing). The reason? Well, ya won't hear it from me. It's not my place to spoil it for you. You'll just have to catch the episode if you can. I CAN tell you one thing: It's a good one!
