Honey West "King of the Mountain" #1.18 (1966) (TV)

Honey and Richard Kiel, 6 July 2015


Honey and Sam are hired to check out the well-being of a reclusive billionaire who hasn't been seen in almost a decade. 

What an enjoyable episode! King of the Mountain gets back to a more fun Honey West. With secret passages, body doubles, lots of gadgets, Honey undercover as a nurse, Richard Kiel, and a dungeon complete with a deadly bubbling hot spring . . . what more do you need? One of my favorite scenes is watching Honey run from the huge Richard Kiel. It's real hoot! This episode is action packed. In fact, this one is really constrained by the limited runtime. King of the Mountain could have easily filled an hour.

For the Name That Character Actor, there are lots and lots of options to pick from. I'll go with Dennis Patrick. He might have 166 acting credits, but my favorite of the bunch is his log run on Dark Shadows.

6/10
