I thought the Studio Chief WAS evil Groucho Marx, not just "that he looks like him".

I'm in, but the amount of "FUCKS" was distracting.

Does Perry Mason ever NOT get someone off/win/whatever? Cuz if so, I have some bad news for Wolf Girl in this darker noir version of Perry Mason.

I think she still gets convicted even after Ellis gets completely exposed - because of some technicality.

Has anyone here actually read any of the PM books and short stories - as opposed to probably all of us reading Hammett/Chandler and Ellroy and the likes much more "noir-ish" works?

PM is #3 all time but I wonder what is actually behind those numbers (magazine re-prints in the 1960's or something, etc).
