#back on the french riviera‚ so naturally we're visited by Col. Latignant once again. he gets rather more to do here than in some
#of his other outings‚ and he's even given a bumbling assistant to spark off (played with deadpan splendour by Michael Wynne)
#the plot is fairly familiar guff about valuable diamonds and a country in need (the fictional Santa Cruz; I know there are many real Santa
#Cruzes but I don't think any are countries?). Simon must help or not help the widow of a former dictator.. perhaps wisely (or perhaps
#cowardly) he never really gets drawn into the political aspect of the discussion‚ focusing instead on doing his diamond thief biz
#terry nation would have written this very differently imo. anyway. Gary Raymond gets to chew the scenery as the villain; he was a good get
#for the team too‚ having made a couple of high profile films and starred in an adaptation of Martin Chuzzlewit for the bbc the previous
#year (sadly lost); the following year he'd be starring in The Rat Patrol in the US. Viviane Ventura also travelled over the pond to try and
#make it big but with less success (she did a couple of MfU and Get Smart eps). both are still with us happily‚ and Raymond in fact still
#acting (he can be glimpsed in House of the Dragon atm!).
