Opening

Starring Raymond Burr
in The Case of THE DEADLY DEBT
Based upon characters created by Erle Stanley Gardner
Barbara Hale, William Hopper, William Talman, Ray Collins

+ interesting here that in the Opening Credits sequence, they are still using images of Burr from several years before (as contrasted with his appearance in the actual eipsodes). Also, that, at Burr's insistence, even though he was no longer able to appear in the series, and hadn't in more than a year, as long he was still alive, Ray Collins was credited as Lt. Tragg.

++ Nothing unusual there. The same image of Jack Lord was used on Hawaii Five-0 for 12 years. Actor Sidney Clute was credited on Cagney & Lacey even after he died through the end of the series. Wiseguy70005, 10/2/17.
