I felt I had pretty much exhausted Blake Edwards' noir masterpiece, Experiment In Terror, back in 2020, but a few words from Psychic TV has convinced me I only scratched the surface. The song is perfectly matched due to its own action/suspense/psycho-sexual themes and surrealistic variations, something this great film from 1962 has a lot of. In previous tributes I had only grazed the surface of the interaction between Ross Martin and Stephanie Powers, focusing a lot on the lovely Lee Remick. I have certainly taken nothing away from Ms Remick's performance in this video, but the balance is much better between her, Powers, Martin, and Glenn Ford. From Cold Blue Torch, this is Psychic TV and a re-visitation of the film, Experiment In Terror ... done in my favorite colors, black and white. Is it any wonder that Mr. Lucky was one of the best detective noir TV series of all time ... and that he accomplished in only 30 minutes what other series then on the air, like 77 Sunset Strip, required 60 minutes to pull off?
