An outside face

[bkoganbing · 6/10 · 17 February 2017]

I guess because the Treasury Department needed a fresh and outside face Efrem Zimbalist gets hired by the department to play a roguish sort of fellow and smash a counterfeiting ring operating in Hawaii. If this looks like a back lot version of Hawaii it is with the usual establishing shots.

If it looks like that other Warner Brothers detective show Hawaiian Eye it should. Robert Conrad and Poncie Ponce make some guest appearances briefly.

It's one of two women who is acting as a courier singer Dolores Donlan and shy wallflower Adele Mara. This is where Zimbalist turns on the charm offensive.

Also in the program is jazz pianist Buddy Cole backing Donlan in her nightclub act.

This one's worth a look.
