He was sooooo sexy. Looking back, it was kinda cool to see Howard Duff, who'd had a long and varied career in film, TV, stage, and radio; he was Sam Spade on the radio in the 40s! And the other showbiz vets like Kevin McCarthy, Barbara Rush, and Stella Stevens made it interesting. I remember the show got really bizarre and random toward the end, but I recall it was flailing in the ratings and didn't know what to do to improve things, and it finally ended unsatisfactorily. Oh well, I'll always have my memories of John Beck...Vagrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053302275793357240noreply@blogger.com
