Interpol Calling: Pipeline (1.37, ITC, 1960)

"A burst here, and thousands of tons of crude oil will pollute the river. Downstream you got rice paddies, whole lotta rich fruit farms, grazing land. You cover this valley with oil - every darn thing will die."

#interpol calling #itc #1960 #classic tv #charles korvin #john bentley #elisabeth wilson #richard leech #dervis ward #john cairney #gordon sterne #alan browning #another interesting take on the usual series format #korvin flies into a civil war to arrest john bentley on suspicion of murder #but bentley is the only man who can keep an oil pipeline from bursting and causing untold damage #so they must continue to work as the bullets fly #its good tense stuff. these last few episodes have been among the best #alan browning reappears from the previous episode again uncredited despite having lines #john cairney had been in the episode before last. at least this time he isn't in brownface #most curious is the casting of richard leech. he'd done a couple of episodes earlier in the series as a recurring english police contact #of korvins. here he's another police contact half way across the world and he's grown a moustache #long lost brother?#why not. im making that canon #the canon of interpol calling is a hotly debated topic amongst the whole fandom #the whole fandom being me #our main concern? more. edwin. richfield.#once again he's absent here but then im not convinced how he'd handle a war zone tbh
