“This is a very u0026quot;late u0026#39;60su0026quot; detective drama, and if youu0026#39;re in the mood, it will hit the spot. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat struck me, and it has not been picked up by other posters, is the very visible difference between the majority of the scenes, shot on authentic NYC locations, and a few scenes straight from the Universal backlot, on urbanistically nonsensical streets with no gutters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe studio shot scenes (and the school-of-Lalo-Shifrin score) increase the impression that you are watching a first class TV movie. It all makes you hungry for a dinner in a foil tray.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDefinitely entertaining, in a period way.”
