#222: The Case of the
Latent Lover
Original Airdate: 12/03/64

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book (Revised)
Investment broker Eric Pollard is apparently losing his mind. He’s done everything from violently accusing his wife Sybil of having affairs to attempting to stick up a bank. Probation office supervisor Roy Galen, a friend of Sybil’s, gets Eric a suspended sentence based upon his obvious incompetency. This only convinces Eric that Roy is Sybil’s lover. Later, Sybil is accused of mishandling $250,000; then she is murdered. When Roy is arrested for the crime, Perry, determined to find out why Eric Pollard is acting so crazy, agrees to defend the beleaguered civil servant.

Trivia Edit

Harold Gould (pictured) makes his only Perry appearance here playing Lawrence West. Harold Gould is probably best known for his role as Rhoda Morgenstern father in the 1970s sitcom Rhoda. He also had a prominent role in the sitcom Golden Girls. Mr. Gould recently celebrated his 59th wedding anniversary to actress Lea Vernon. Submitted by PaulDrake 33, 26 August 2009.

Sightings: In the very first shot of the courtroom gallery we see two regulars, Pencil Mustache Man and Quiet Old Man #1, sitting near each other and behind Pollard and friends. Later we see Distinguished Gentleman #1 in the back row, but he “teleports” from one side of the courtroom to the other. And that just might be the Thin Man next to the aisle. Now, you may well wonder, just who are these people? Submitted by gracenote, 4/13/2011. + The Thin Man also appears in the courtroom gallery. He’s visible in shots of Burger questioning various witnesses. Submitted by gracenote, 8/2/2011.

Ray Collins did not appear despite onscreen credit. Submitted by gracenote, 4/13/2011.
