Perry Mason loses - to the medical examiner?


It was weird enough seeing Raymond Burr play a love-besotted Marc Antony. The topper was when Michael Fox shows up as Antony's ultimate conquerer, Octavius. Fox appeared on Burr's Perry Mason series a couple dozen times as Dr. Hoxie (sometimes billed as just "Autopsy Surgeon" or "Coroner's Physician"). On rare occasions, Hoxie would get a bit excited when Mason or Burger tried to put words in his mouth, but nothing like the maniacal way Octavius shouts at the Senate while revealing Cleopatra's evil plans.

Also, the original Catwoman shows up, dancing in gold paint. At least this is more scientifically accurate than Goldfinger, which claimed the paint would kill you by "epidermal asphyxiation".

Um, yes, so would I; but this wasn't made as a "fun film;" it was made as a serious epic drama!
