- TriviaThe set that is supposed to be the room of Robert Stoner (Byron Morrow) at the marina is the one that normally is used as Peggy's apartment (e.g. as shown in Eagles Sometimes Can't Fly (1969), and Last Rites for Miss Emma (1969)).
- GoofsAt the 8:40 mark, after Mannix takes the champagne and walks away, the boom mic's shadow can be seen on the wall.
- Quotes
Joe Mannix: [starstruck by a beautiful bikini-clad actress] You're Carla Renata. I saw you in "The Lonely Street." I liked your walk.
Carla Renata: Why, that picture was made in Italy three years ago. The Italian producers are only interested in sex. In France I became an actress.
Featured review
THE SALT WATER WILL KILL YA. FO' SURE!
A fairly good whodunit, but I have to agree with a few reviewers there are some questions. As kids...
we never asked anything, however as adults,
that's another story...
Here, Mariana Hill (as Ellen) hires Joe to find out who killed her husband, a famous swimmer who simply drowns. It turns out he was involved in a secret government project. Interestingly, if you keep score on most cop shows (not only Mannix), should someone be associated with ANYTHING top secret, their days are genuinely numbered.
Mannix goes up against some suspicious characters with fists and there are some beautiful ladies to balance out the story. Mariana Hill became a cult figure, appearing on BATMAN as Cleo and as Deanna Corleone in THE GODFATHER, PART II. She also spent many years at Warner Brothers/ABC tv.
Look for Paul Stewart, always fun to watch, especially as a sly, resourceful suspect. Stewart got his start thanks to Orson Welles in CITIZEN KANE.
Yes, the curious scene bantered about has Joe beaten up in front of Peggy, who doesn't do anything. This again underlines what I had written about in past episodes; Peggy should have carried a gun herself, even if she wasn't a crack shot. It would have at least scared the goons and gave Joe a fighting chance!
Look for Charles Seel playing the blind man, who turned up in dozens of dramas. A very familiar veteran actor.
Beautifully filmed at Corona del Mar, which is part of Newport Beach, and very, very expensive. In fact, it may be the most expensive port in the country. Also local law dictates that alcohol is forbidden at the beach all summer long, until the day after Labor Day. Whether or not all beach goers respect it, who knows???
SEASON 3. EPISODE 7 remastered CBS dvd box set.
