Notable episodes

Special guest star Bette Davis and William Hopper in "The Case of Constant Doyle" (January 31, 1963)

Special guest star Walter Pidgeon in "The Case of the Surplus Suitor" (February 28, 1963)

"The Case of the Moth-Eaten Mink" (episode 1-13) was the pilot film for the Perry Mason series. It was filmed October 3–9, 1956,[4]^:10023 more than a year before it aired.[24]^:23[25][26] Written and directed like a film noir second feature,[24]^:25 it was a hit with CBS executives and earned the series a good time slot for the 1957–58 season.[27]

In four episodes adapted from Erle Stanley Gardner novels — "The Case of the Silent Partner" (episode 1-6), "The Case of the Baited Hook" (episode 1-14), "The Case of the Velvet Claws" (episode 6-22)[24]^:70–71 and "The Case of the Careless Kitten" (episode 8-24)[28]^:28992 — the cases are solved without ever going into the courtroom. "Although Gardner's Mason had often maneuvered so successfully on his clients' behalf that they never had to appear in court", wrote film scholar Thomas Leitch, "television episodes without such scenes are highly unusual."[24]^:70–71

"The Case of the Terrified Typist" (episode 1-38), "The Case of the Witless Witness" (episode 6-28) and the much-hyped "The Case of the Deadly Verdict" (episode 7-4)[lower-alpha 11] are episodes in which Perry Mason loses cases in some form or manner.[30] He has implicitly lost a capital case in "The Case of the Desperate Daughter" (episode 1-27); Mason and Della Street are first seen preparing a last-minute appeal for a "Mr. Hudson" who has an impending date with the gas chamber.[31]

William Talman (Hamilton Burger) was fired by CBS March 18, 1960, hours after he entered a not-guilty plea to misdemeanor charges related to his presence at a party that was raided by police.[32][33] The schedule was immediately juggled to minimize Talman's presence on the show.[lower-alpha 12][lower-alpha 13] "The Case of the Crying Cherub" (episode 3-20) debuts a pared-down title sequence that omits Talman; he is credited only in the four episodes he filmed before he was fired.[lower-alpha 14] Talman was defended by Gail Patrick Jackson,[35] Burr[36] and others, but even dismissal of the charges in June[37] did not soften the network's position.[38] Patrick said that the role of Burger would not be recast, but that various actors would play assistant district attorneys.[39] CBS reinstated Talman only after Gardner himself weighed in, together with millions of viewers.[lower-alpha 15][41]^:71 Talman went back to work December 9, 1960,[42] and Burger returned in "The Case of the Fickle Fortune" (episode 4-15).[lower-alpha 16]

"The Case of the Counterfeit Crank" (episode 5-27) is a rare episode in which Perry Mason calls his own defendant to the witness stand.[44]^:21881

In October 1962, Gail Patrick Jackson announced that four episodes from season six would feature special guest stars who would cover for Raymond Burr during his convalescence from surgery.[lower-alpha 17] Perry Mason fan Bette Davis began filming "The Case of Constant Doyle" (episode 6-16) December 12, 1962.[46] The other three special episodes are "The Case of the Libelous Locket" (episode 6-17) starring Michael Rennie; "The Case of the Two-Faced Turnabout" (episode 6-18) starring Hugh O'Brian; and "The Case of the Surplus Suitor" (episode 6-19) starring Walter Pidgeon.[45] To provide continuity, brief scenes were shot in Burr's hospital room that showed Mason speaking on the phone to each of the attorney friends who was managing his caseload while he was in Europe.[45][47]

"The Case of the Capering Camera" (episode 7-15), filmed in October 1963, marks the last appearance by Ray Collins as the irascible Lt. Tragg.[48] Although it was clear Collins would not return to work on the series, his name appeared in the opening title sequence through the eighth season, which ended in May 1965. Executive producer Gail Patrick Jackson was aware that Collins watched the show every week and did not wish to discourage him.[49] Collins died of emphysema July 11, 1965.[48]

When Burr was hospitalized for jaw surgery in 1964, special guest stars substituted for him in two episodes. The first, "The Case of the Bullied Bowler" (episode 8-7), was regarded as one of the best episodes of the season.[50] Taking place while Mason is in Europe, the episode stars Mike Connors as an attorney friend of Paul Drake.[lower-alpha 18] Broadcast two months later, the second episode was "The Case of the Thermal Thief" (episode 8-16), starring Barry Sullivan.[50] These are the only two Perry Mason episodes in which Burr makes no appearance.[28]^:26939

"The Case of the Fatal Fetish" (episode 8-21) is the first of four episodes in which Burr shows the effects of an injury suffered in January 1965 following his third visit to U.S. military personnel in South Vietnam. He required surgery after tearing his shoulder tendons,[28]^:33618[51][52] and wears a large plaster cast under his clothing in that episode[lower-alpha 19] and in "The Case of the Sad Sicilian" (episode 8-22).[lower-alpha 20] His right arm is in a sling in "The Case of the Murderous Mermaid" (episode 8-23)[lower-alpha 21] and "The Case of the Careless Kitten" (episode 8-24).[56][lower-alpha 22]

"The Case of the Twice-Told Twist" (episode 9-21) is the only episode of the series that was filmed in color.[22]^:194

"The Case of the Dead Ringer" (episode 9-26) features Burr in a unique dual role, playing Mason and his doppelgänger, a grizzled seadog hired to impersonate and discredit him.[57]^:31925

"The Case of the Final Fade-Out" (episode 9-30), the last episode of the series, was filmed April 12–19, 1966.[57]^:32188 Perry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner makes his sole appearance as an actor, playing the judge presiding at the second trial. It was Gail Patrick Jackson's idea to give Gardner and other behind-the-scenes members of the production crew a chance to appear in uncredited cameos:[58][59][60]

"Who wants to be opposite Bonanza?" Executive producer Gail Patrick Jackson with producer Art Seid and, behind the bar, her then-husband Thomas Cornwell Jackson, Erle Stanley Gardner's literary agent, in "The Case of the Final Fade-Out" (May 22, 1966).

Witness 1 is prop man Ray Thompson.[61]

Assistant prop man John Ferry portrays director Phil Shields.[61]
Assistant director Gordon Webb is the assistant director.[61]
Second grip Wendell Jones is photographer Tad Wyman.[61]
Script supervisor Marshall Schlom is Cliff, the script supervisor.[61]

The second assistant director is Dave Marks, second assistant director and father of producer Arthur Marks.[61]
Mill foreman Buck Jones appears as himself.[61]
Construction coordinator Mickey Woods appears as himself.[61]
Ann Bernaducci, secretary to producer Arthur Marks, plays the producer's secretary.[61]
Costumer Evelyn Carruth (with her dog, Buff) is the costumer.[61]

Art director Lewis Creber is the man who interrupts them.
Actor Mark Roberts is one of the men in the background.[61]
Set decorator Carl Biddiscombe is one of the men in the background.[61]
Bill Swan, executive assistant to Raymond Burr, is the piano player.[61]
Executive producer Gail Patrick Jackson is seated at the bar, speaking to producer Art Seid.[61]
Thomas Cornwell Jackson, Patrick's husband at the time, Erle Stanley Gardner's literary agent, and a partner in Paisano Productions, is the bartender.[61]
Lester Salkow, Burr's agent, is the man talking to the bartender.[61]
Anne Nelson, vice president of business affairs for CBS Entertainment, is the barmaid.[61]

The second murder victim is Jackson Sidemark, a producer whose name is an in-joke — a composite of the surnames of Paisano partners Gail Patrick Jackson and Thomas Cornwell Jackson ("Jackson") and producers Art Seid and Arthur Marks ("Sidemark").[57]^:32323

The sequence in the bar was the last Perry Mason scene to be filmed. In her sole appearance in the series, Gail Patrick Jackson broke the rule against ad libs. The script called for her to say, "I wouldn't take that show if they begged me. Who wants that time slot?" Instead she said, "I wouldn't take that show. Who wants to be opposite Bonanza?"[57]^:32296 It is a final commentary on the tables being turned by the NBC series that Perry Mason had bested in the Nielsen ratings for its first two seasons.[63]

Notes

After seeing this episode, Erle Stanley Gardner wrote Gail Patrick Jackson: "I don't think I have ever seen a better show at any time on television than 'Sleepwalker's Niece' last Saturday night. I was so darned excited at how perfect it was I just couldn't settle down afterwards.—It had the suspense, intrigue and everything else one looks for and doesn't find in most plays and I kept wondering how on earth you ever chose every single actor so they were perfectly cast.—I saw the first one so imperfectly on a motel TV set that this is really my first one and I'm still thrilled whenever I think of it, and mentally say, 'Thank you, Gail, for everything you've done.'"[3]

Gail Patrick Jackson released teasers to the press about ""The Case of the Deadly Verdict", which begins with Perry Mason's client being convicted and sentenced to death. "Presumably this is the first time in six years that Mason, played by Raymond Burr, has been called upon to register surprise", wrote The New York Times.[29]
The broadcast March 19, 1960, was a rerun of "The Case of the Perjured Parrot" (episode 2-11), in which Talman appears only in the title sequence.[34]
On March 26, 1960, "The Case of the Bashful Burro" (episode 3-19) replaced the previously announced episode, "The Case of the Credulous Quarry", in which Talman appears.[34]
The four episodes Talman filmed before he was dropped by CBS are "The Case of the Irate Inventor" (episode 3-25), "The Case of the Flighty Father" (episode 3-26), "The Case of the Treacherous Toupée" (episode 4-1) and "The Case of the Credulous Quarry" (episode 4-2).
"In my book Bill Talman is a great artist", Erle Stanley Gardner wrote. "As far as I am personally concerned, I would like to see him back on the Perry Mason show. I think every member of Paisano Productions feels the same way that I do."[40]
In a May 2014 interview, Barbara Hale said that only by chance was she not at the same party where Talman was arrested.[43]
Burr was hospitalized in Los Angeles December 10, 1962, for major intestinal surgery.[45]
Airing the following week, "The Case of a Place Called Midnight" (episode 8-8) plays off Mason's absence; set in Germany, it features no regular cast member other than Burr.[20]^:175
"I know you've been out of the office because of your accident, Mr. Mason", Mignon Germaine (Fay Wray) says at the beginning of Perry Mason's first scene in "The Case of the Fatal Fetish".[53]
"How's your arm?" Hamilton Burger asks Mason in "The Case of the Sad Sicilian". "It hurts", Mason replies.[54]
Paul Drake refers to Mason's sling while speaking to him on the phone in "The Case of the Murderous Mermaid".[55]
There was confusion and mystery about how Burr was injured. The press reported that he was hurt in a helicopter accident in Vietnam, but Gail Patrick Jackson privately shared with Erle Stanley Gardner that he was hurt after completing his tour of Southeast Asia, on the beach at Kauai. This was confirmed in 2011 by Robert Benevides.[28]^:33621

[4] After seeing this episode, Erle Stanley Gardner wrote Gail Patrick Jackson: "I don't think I have ever seen a better show at any time on television than 'Sleepwalker's Niece' last Saturday night. I was so darned excited at how perfect it was I just couldn't settle down afterwards.—It had the suspense, intrigue and everything else one looks for and doesn't find in most plays and I kept wondering how on earth you ever chose every single actor so they were perfectly cast.—I saw the first one so imperfectly on a motel TV set that this is really my first one and I'm still thrilled whenever I think of it, and mentally say, 'Thank you, Gail, for everything you've done.'"[3]

[40] Gail Patrick Jackson released teasers to the press about ""The Case of the Deadly Verdict", which begins with Perry Mason's client being convicted and sentenced to death. "Presumably this is the first time in six years that Mason, played by Raymond Burr, has been called upon to register surprise", wrote The New York Times.[29]

[46] The broadcast March 19, 1960, was a rerun of "The Case of the Perjured Parrot" (episode 2-11), in which Talman appears only in the title sequence.[34]

[47] On March 26, 1960, "The Case of the Bashful Burro" (episode 3-19) replaced the previously announced episode, "The Case of the Credulous Quarry", in which Talman appears.[34]

[48] The four episodes Talman filmed before he was dropped by CBS are "The Case of the Irate Inventor" (episode 3-25), "The Case of the Flighty Father" (episode 3-26), "The Case of the Treacherous Toupée" (episode 4-1) and "The Case of the Credulous Quarry" (episode 4-2).

[55] "In my book Bill Talman is a great artist", Erle Stanley Gardner wrote. "As far as I am personally concerned, I would like to see him back on the Perry Mason show. I think every member of Paisano Productions feels the same way that I do."[40]

[59] In a May 2014 interview, Barbara Hale said that only by chance was she not at the same party where Talman was arrested.[43]

[62] Burr was hospitalized in Los Angeles December 10, 1962, for major intestinal surgery.[45]

[68] Airing the following week, "The Case of a Place Called Midnight" (episode 8-8) plays off Mason's absence; set in Germany, it features no regular cast member other than Burr.[20]^:175

[72] "I know you've been out of the office because of your accident, Mr. Mason", Mignon Germaine (Fay Wray) says at the beginning of Perry Mason's first scene in "The Case of the Fatal Fetish".[53]

[74] "How's your arm?" Hamilton Burger asks Mason in "The Case of the Sad Sicilian". "It hurts", Mason replies.[54]

[76] Paul Drake refers to Mason's sling while speaking to him on the phone in "The Case of the Murderous Mermaid".[55]

[78] There was confusion and mystery about how Burr was injured. The press reported that he was hurt in a helicopter accident in Vietnam, but Gail Patrick Jackson privately shared with Erle Stanley Gardner that he was hurt after completing his tour of Southeast Asia, on the beach at Kauai. This was confirmed in 2011 by Robert Benevides.[28]^:33621
