Jack Klugman. as usual, is 1st-class as businessman Sam Braden in Naked City's " Well-Dressed Termite"-- cuckholded by wife played by Norma Crane, who gained distinction as Julia in 1st US production of Orwell's "1984" (which my parents saw when it was shown live on TV in 1953) — PolitiTweet.org

It dawned on me that these early 1961 "Naked Cities" in the snow were made as Northeast was hit by whopper of a storm. As Parker, Arcaro & Flint were shivering while pursuing criminals. Jack Kennedy was growing nervous fearing his inauguration would be moved indoors. — PolitiTweet.org

"Killer With a Kiss," Season 2. Episode 6 of "Naked City," features 5-star performance by Burt Brinkerhoff--later an accomplished stage actor & director--as severely troubled mental health worker who kills cops w. knife to get revenge on his late Marine Corps hero father. Weird! — PolitiTweet.org

As in "Mission:Impossible," & "The Invaders" & many other shows, Alfred Ryder is--supremely--the embodiment of evil in Naked City's "Landscape With Dead Figures"--as Carl Blakely, who commits artist-cousin Alfred to sanitarium for 20 yrs. while producing forgeries of his works. — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful portrait of mental illness in Naked City's "Landscape With Deadly Figures." Stirling Sillipant must have been well-researched-- Blakely slugs caretaker, cold cocks orderly at Bellevue, & destroys fake painting, showing the mentally ill sometimes don't know own strength. — PolitiTweet.org

"Landscape W. Dead Figures,^ Season 2, Episode12, of Naked City, features gripping performance by stage actor Myron McCormick as brilliant-but-mentally-troubled painter Albert Blakely--barely a yr. before his death from cancer (Jul. 1962). He must have been in pain performing. — PolitiTweet.org
