Good Night, Baby, Time to Die

Good Night, Baby, Time to Die. Episode 93, season 4. Original air date: 2/22/72.

The backgrounds of the apartments, the crazy 70s fashions--Hawaii Five-o often resembles the most ambitious 70s rec rooms and that style is why it's still so eminently loveable. This episode runs a lot like a teleplay, highlighting the perfs of Jack Lord, W. Watson and Beth Brickell. An old heist is talked over as McGarrett is called to protect a woman whose old boyfriend has promised to come back and get her. Of course, McGarrett has a plan up his sleeve and that plan is "deus ex machina." No wonder he was so stoic to her stumbly, drunken advances! I think if this case went to trial that she would get off. McGarrett's old tape recorder not as foolproof as it might seem. Blondie in the yellow baby-doll would say anything if she thouht her life in danger. Highlight: The villainess saying "I just can't imagine a guy with a name like McGarrett not having one drink."
