Suzanne Pleshette really shines, 23 August 2019
The Quick Pitch: Mundy’s mission involves cracking a safe that is believed to contain information on a Nazi war criminal. The safe is a type Mundy has never worked with before. In fact, he’s not even sure how it opens. His cover - act as the manager for an operatic diva, Angela Funello.
What fun! A Sour Note is an excellent episode from start to finish. While the plot is interesting enough, it’s the characters that make this one so special. Co-stars Harvey Lembeck, Gino Conforti, and especially Suzanne Pleshette bring their considerable talents and make for a light-hearted and, at times, quite funny episode. A special mention to costuming with Pleshette looking fabulous. As usual, Robert Wagner is in fine form and director Don Weis does his usual excellent job in the director’s chair. The final solution to opening the safe is quite clever in that if you’re paying attention, you might figure it out. The safe opening also accomplishes two other things: Mundy gets his evidence and Ms Funello is hilariously interrupted during her performance. My only complaint with A Sour Note is that this is Pleshette’s only appearance on the show.
8/10
