Anything with Julie Sommars is worth watching.
The series was lucky to get her, as Julie was a very popular actress. Not surprisingly, she has a neat role here, playing a famous singer called Ruby Deems who makes the big mistake of returning home.
Cutting to the chase, she's tricked into thinking she killed someone by an old boyfriend... and you know there's going to be blackmail. What follows is a very clever setup, in which the supposedly dead woman is actually killed. Dead men or women tell no tales, right?
Well written by Ben Masselink, who wrote four episodes for the series, and a ton of other cop shows in his long career. Ben cranked out some interesting tales.
Julie, who retired many years ago, is best remembered co-starring on MATLOCK. The last reviewer questioned, whether or not Julie was actually singing in this episode. She did sing, but was known more as an actress, so the singing could be dubbed. Either way, she's fun to watch.
None other than Andrew Prine also co-stars, used quite a bit by producer Quinn Martin, best as slicksters. Young Linda Kelsey appears as Cathy, a few years before her co-starring role on LOU GRANT.
Watch Barnaby solve this one. SEASON 3 EPISODE 9 remastered CBS dvd box set.
