Where To Watch
Was this a Perry Mason case or a 1950s horror film?
Can you tell the difference between a Haunted Strangler and a Haunted Husband?
CBS Television Distribution
Perry Mason premiered in the 1957–58 television season. This also happened to be a peak era for spooky science-fiction flicks. Drive-ins were showing double features about killer blobs, giant ants, body snatchers, a man transformed into a fly, "The Thing" and much more.
Perhaps that's why so many cases from Perry Mason sounded like a horror film.
Every episode of the mystery series had a title that began "The Case of…". We removed that part.
See if you can tell the difference between "Perry" and "scary."

Yes I had a few words and paragraphs for him. I like him and his wife. They are fun people.
They are staying longer and I think returning for just a bit at end of the year and also coming back next April. Not sure how long or until they sell the home in Italy or just come and go each year.
Thank you Tex! You're fun people too.

Movie is based on a 1950's novel. The plot follows imprisoned mastermind robber whose wife conspires for his release on the condition they rob a bank. A double-cross follows the crime and they are forced to flee for Mexico with the police and criminals in hot pursuit. The actors are top of their times and you know them well.
