Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was William R. Moses' first appearance as Ken Malansky, who became Perry's regular investigator in the remaining TV movies until Burr's death.
The 1985-1995 Perry Mason revival films kept the character alive for a new generation who never saw the 1957-1966 series—Burr was 72 here and still commanding every frame.
