Did you know
- TriviaGene quotes extensively from memory William Shakespeare's "Othello": "Look to your wife, observe her well with Cassio./Wear your eyes thus, not jealous nor secure. [omitted by Gene]/I would not have your free and noble nature/Out of self-bounty be abused." (Act III, Scene III). He later quotes Othello's line from the same act: "Was not that Cassio parted from my wife?" and Iago's response: "Cassio, my lord! No, sure, I cannot think it/That he would steal away so guiltylike,/" and also abridges Act IV, Scene II's "Come, swear it. Damn thyself,/Lest, being like one of heaven, the devils themselves/Should fear to seize thee. Therefore be double/damned./Swear thou art honest." (plus Desdemona's answering "Heaven doth truly know it.")
Featured review
AN OTHELLO OF AN EPISODE
The plot of this episode is manipulation and glamour on the French Riviera.
It is interesting how the plot of this episode, slowly builds up into an grand finale.
What is clever at the start of the story is how Gene Bradley, memorises his next mission to Mr Parminter.
It has a very bizarre car chase at the climax of this episode.
The interplay Gene Barry has with his leading ladies in this episode is very good. He plays it with excellent charm. His performance as Gene Bradley is charming, manipulate and cocky.
Catherine Shell who plays The Adventurer's sexy assistant Diane, comes over as cool, clever and charming. She looks gorgeous disguised as a nurse, pretending to be Gene Bradley's carer, and to deceive the foreign agents at the centre of the plot within the story.
Janet Key's performance as a former actress, who is married to a millionaire, is sweet and innocent.
The worst performances in this episode comes from two third rate actors being Richard Marner and Anthony Ainley. There acting is the worst ever seen in a television series of its time.
What is fascinating with this episode is, that it was made in April 1972, and then six months later it was broadcast on television in October of that year. That was fifty years ago.
It makes effective use of its South Of France locations.
