Featured review
THE OLD MICROPHONE IN THE UMBRELLA TRICK?
The Penguin plays a neat game with Batman in this episode, bugging an "evidence" umbrella so he and his gang can listen in on his conversations with Commissioner Gordon. Not a bad stratagy for outsmarting the Dynamic Duo, but didn't Batman or Robin check the evidnece --just in case? Ya think?
This still is campy fun (how can you not like this over the top fluff) as the Penguin goes on to kidnap movie starlet Leslie Parrish (as Dawn). Although Parrish was quite popular on tv, she entered LA politics and came up with the famous anti war slogan, "What If They Gave A War and Nobody Came?" Presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy actually had one of her bumper stickers on his plane. Also look for popular actor Dan Tobin (as Mr. Jay). Tobin played scores of fussy characters and/or wise cracking shifty types, the perfect choice for BATMAN. At the time he was appearing regularly on PERRY MASON. Best gag has to be the Penguin's cuckoo clock with a minitaure qwacking penguin?? See to believe. SEASON 1 restored dvd box set.
