You knew it was coming.... In the last episode, Catwoman and the Sandman (Michael Rennie) were supposed to be a team, after the billions of J. Pauline Spaghetti (so well played by Spring Byington).
Sandman fakes out Catwoman, and runs off to marry Pauline and get the mazuma all for himself --so he thinks!
Over the top stuff, beginning with Robin being trapped by the Catwoman. Burt Ward actually paid a price for all these kidnappings, having to do all the stunts himself, and occasionally getting injured. Adam West DID, in fact, have his own stunt double.
In a bizarro scene, the Sandman visits J Pauline Spaghetti's island where all her dead husbands are buried??? From a distance, the island looks like Catalina!
Naturally, the famous Batboat is used here, the true STAR of this episode. The Batboat was probably as famous as the Batmobile, but not used as much.
The boat was made by Glastrom, a fiberglass company, at Austin, Texas, the creation of company president Robert Hammond. Hammond installed a Chevrolet V-6 engine in the boat, with a top speed of 45 MPH. The Batboat is still around today, owned by a promoter in Tennessee.
James Brolin, a few years before co-starring on MARCUS WELBY, plays a not too nice cop who wants to give Batman no less than three tickets! Note the building background locations, which are actually part of the Fox studio offices and sound stages.
Good direction by George Waggner, who directed 10 episodes. Waggner is best known for directing THE WOLFMAN (1941), starring Lon Chaney, also associated with the cult tv show, 77 SUNSET STRIP.
By the way, Catwoman's address is the Catacombs Condominiums. Good trivia question.
Don't miss this, at least to catch a glimpse of the way cool Batboat. SEASON 2 EPISODE 34 remastered color.
