Honey West "Invitation to Limbo" #1.14 (1965) (TV)

Honey and the Hypnotist, 3 July 2015


Honey and Sam are hired by a man accused of industrial espionage. Even though he was caught red-handed (by Honey herself), he has no recollection of committing the crime.

Invitation to Limbo is another good episode. While it's not the best of the bunch, there's plenty to enjoy, including: an intriguing plot, Wayne Rogers, a twist at the end when the baddies are revealed that (sort of) works, and Honey in the steam bath. Things that didn't work as well: Don Frazer is poorly cast as the bad guy, the last scene is utterly ridiculous (even by Honey West standards), and the bad looking Honey stunt double. One more thing that worked for me that I really can't explain is the scene with Honey and the motorcycle cop. There's really not much to it, but I find it horribly enjoyable. 

For this episode's Name That Character Actor, I could go with the obvious choice, Wayne Rogers, but I won't. Instead, I'll pick Stacy Harris. If you grew up watching television in the 50s and 60s, you'd know him immediately.

6/10
