Honey West "The Abominable Snowman" #1.3 (1965( (TV)

"Well, it was no accident - it was murder.", 19 June 2015

A dying man's last act is to give Honey a snow globe. Honey doesn't understand why, but quickly learns that others are willing to kill to get it.

Yesterday, I decided to re-watch the Honey West series. I had completely forgotten how addictive these episodes are. They're like crack – once you start, you're hooked. Anne Francis is just so watchable. She makes Honey West better than it should. The Abominable Snowman is another nice outing for Honey. The high speed car chase (What a car! And, what a driver!), Honey's dark-haired disguise, and the final fight scene are all highlights. But what I like most about this episode is the twist at the end. It worked. I didn't see that coming at all. Very nicely played.

In this episodes edition of Name That Character Actor, we have two winners: Henry Jones (another one of those "You'd know him if you saw him" kind of guys) and Leon Askin (best known as General Burkhalter from Hogan's Heroes). Casts like this are another reason I enjoy Honey West so much.
