Honey West (TV Series) King of the Mountain (1966) User Reviews

Honey and Richard Kiel

[bensonmum2 · 7/10 · 6 July 2015]

Honey and Sam are hired to check out the well-being of a reclusive billionaire who hasn't been seen in almost a decade.

What an enjoyable episode! King of the Mountain gets back to a more fun Honey West. With secret passages, body doubles, lots of gadgets, Honey undercover as a nurse, Richard Kiel, and a dungeon complete with a deadly bubbling hot spring . . . what more do you need? One of my favorite scenes is watching Honey run from the huge Richard Kiel. It's real hoot! This episode is action packed. In fact, this one is really constrained by the limited runtime. King of the Mountain could have easily filled an hour.

For the Name That Character Actor, there are lots and lots of options to pick from. I'll go with Dennis Patrick. He might have 166 acting credits, but my favorite of the bunch is his log run on Dark Shadows.

King of the Mountain

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 10 September 2022]

Kelso King is a reclusive billionaire with a rare ailment who is rarely seen in public. There is concern about his well being.

So Honey West poses as a nurse. She finds out that one of his main men Carson is very paranoid and guarded.

Carson has a giant of man called Groalgo who seems suspicious of Honey.

No that much of a surprise as Honey is exposed as a private detective. Sam's hidden microphones are later discovered.

It all seems to be a ruse by Carson. Kill of the real King, as the stocks tumble, but the shares cheaply, then use a double to make out King is alive. The shares then rise.

Richard Kiel plays Groalgo and gives the whole thing a Munsters vibe.
