This was the early 60’s and now All State won’t insure my home. Saying things were better 30, 40 or 60 years ago is not nostalgia it’s a fact. This country is going to hell in a hand basket.
I love the way Lawrence Preston "sends a message with his eyes" (not quite a discernable wink) to let his son know that in his moment of extreme need, while being mercilessly lied about, that he is there for him and with confident bells on. This is right when you know that the senior Preston has a good line on what is happening and will be able to pull his desperate son out by his very tail (the liars tale). I LOVE THIS!!!!
I never seen Jack Gilford as a serious dramatic actor. When I see his face I think of all the Crackerjack commercials he did. "When it comes to crackerjacks some kids never grow up". I was a kid in the '60's, this show was just as good as Perry Mason.
