May 31, 1958 [35] "The Case of
the Lazy Lover"
Director William D. Russell
Teleplay Francis Cockrell
Story Erle Stanley Gardner's 1947 novel
When a man named Bertrand Allred is
found dead in a car at the bottom of a cliff, the
evidence points to his wife Lucille . . . sort of. There
is also Allred's business associate, Bob Fleetwood,
Fleetwood's girlfriend, even the old buck who lived near
the murder scene--all of them suspicious.
Fans of the "Batman" TV show
will note that the murdered man, Bertrand Allred, is
played by Neil Hamilton, who went on to star as
Commissioner Gordon on the caped crusader's show.
Coincidentally, Yvonne Craig, who plays Allred's daughter
in this episode, would later play Commissioner Gordon's
daughter (aka Batgirl) on the same series.
Also, Della fans will feel their palms
go sweaty when she must pretend to be Fleetwood's wife,
and smothers him in kisses in the process.
