I can't disagree with any of the above reviews. There's never any real attempt to explain why using blind guys to rob a bank is such a great idea. Yes, no one would suspect blind guys of robbing a bank, but really, wouldn't a sighted electronic expert be more useful? At one point one of the cops posits that the blind men wouldn't be able to identify the "mastermind" (which seems an extremely generous description of Willie Black) because they are blind. Wouldn't it just be easier to kill the thieves after the crime. Dead men can't identify anybody either.

My favorite part of the movie though has to be the chase scene that starts at an International House of Pancakes and then ends up on the roof of an International House of Pancakes! The International House of Pancakes is also where the crime is planned at the beginning of the movie (a great place to plot a international crime).

That's really too much International House of Pancakes for one movie.

Having had the opportunity of seeing a few episodes of this show, which I had previously been unaware of, I have to disagree with the previous poster. Of the four or five episodes I saw, one had the CoLR finding the suspect guilty of the crime he had been accused of. I don't think one needs to make everything a matter of present-day politics, especially an inconsequential and probably largely forgotten (despite the participation of Erle Stanley Gardner) show from the 1950s.

Watching the episodes I thought this show would still work today. I have to say that I like the one-half hour format for dramas. So many shows today are padded with fat. The half hour format really forces the writers to be economic in their storytelling.

I saw this in Mill Creek Entertainment's 150 episode "Best of TV Detectives" pack. This has a number of obscure mystery series from the 1950s and early sixties on 12 DVDs. Well worth the $20 price tag.
