@@moserlanny1074 I was talking about lawyers who go to Washington as a life time occupation, who write laws that for the rest of this Age will be argued about over and over. They do this to create jobs for themselves, judges, and career politicians. We need to STOP talking about the so-called rule of law that is just devil dung talk to muddy up the water of justice. All laws should be simple enough and clear enough that even an 8th grader could understand them. It should be whether something is Right or wrong. Look at the laws about murder. Y'all say if someone has one kind of life style is murder it is different from someone else who has a different lifestyle. In other words you are saying that one group's life is worth more than the other. The Law is supposed to be the same for everybody, the rich or poor, citizen or politician, even the aliens are supposed to have the same laws as the people in America and that means they are to come here the way our law says too, not by breaking our laws.

I love and respect all these actors! Buddy Ebsen was a well-known film star and had been the director’s first choice for the Tin Man in “The Wizard of Oz.” Irene Ryan was an esteemed actress of stage and screen. Donna Douglas had had a career as an actress and - yes - pin-up girl. Max Baer also had experience, but really proved his mettle as Jethro. I recognize the actress who played the wife with the phony car wreck story. I don’t know her name, as the end titles were cut off. The husband was also a full professional. Perhaps the actor playing the attorney overdid it a little bit, but he may simply have been following the director’s instructions. Thanks for the post of this episode.
