In this film, he revisits a case he&#8217;d heard on appeal and declined the defendant&#8217;s appeal because the trial was fair. But when the convicted murdered (an Air Force officer) has a new witness come forward, Mason steps in to help clear the man.<\/p>\n<p>This case is far more complicated than that. \u00a0The witness changes his testimony at the last minute, so it no longer helps the convicted man and Perry&#8217;s client apparently escapes, and is set up to take the fall, when the wavering witness is murdered. This movie takes Perry Mason to a different place &#8211; a lot more action, suspense, and intrigue than usual. In addition to this, the producers take full advantage of the Colorado location to produce some great scenic shots.<\/p>\n<p>5) Perry Mason and the Case of the Fatal Fashion (1991): Perry is in New York and this time he defends a long-time friend (Diane Muldaur) of Della&#8217;s who is accused of killing the editor of a rival fashion magazine.<\/p>\n<p>This episode has a lot going for it. Ken Malansky finds himself dealing with the mob when a relative of the head of the family is killed before he can reveal vital information to Perry. \u00a0He finds a mob tough guy assigned to &#8220;help&#8221; him investigate, but how far can Malansky trust his new &#8220;colleague? This works out to a lot of excitement in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>This movie also features a rare prosecutorial highlight, with the appearance of Scott Baio in his first\u00a0post-Charles in Charge appearance, as Assistant DA Peter Whelen. Baio makes a solid competitor for Mason as the young upstart New York D.A. You knew he wasn&#8217;t going to win, but he made it interesting for a while.<\/p>\n<p>The episode ends with an emotional punch and a murderer you&#8217;d never guess.<\/p>\n<p>4) Perry Mason and the Case of the Lost Love (1987):<\/p>\n<p>Perry&#8217;s old flame (Jean Simmons) is being appointed to a vacant United States Senate seat, but it&#8217;s all put at risk when her husband is accused of murdering a man who knew a secret that could have destroyed her political career.<\/p>\n<p>The chemistry between Simmons and Raymond Burr is incredible. The mystery is well-plotted and we&#8217;re left with a powerful and very surprising ending as Mason faces one of his most unpleasant tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Continued&#8230;Next Week<\/p>\n<p><em>This post contains affiliate links, which means that items purchased from these links may result in a commission being paid to the author of this post at no extra cost to the purchaser.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeffA version of this article appeared in 2012.
