Disorder In The Court! Perry Mason Season 3 (Vol.2) on DVD

Out this week on DVD is Perry Mason Season 3 (Volume 2), the second half of the terrific third season of this acclaimed mystery series starring Raymond Burr as the wily lawyer Perry Mason. Generally saddled with clients who seem very very guilty, Perry investigates the clues with his trusty secretary Della Street (Barbara Hale) and private investigator Paul Drake (William Hopper) and usually in the final minutes Mason unmasks the real killer. There’s always that famous scene where someone jumps up in the courtroom and tearfully confesses to the murder -- which is priceless.

In this 14 episode, digitally remastered set there are tons of fun cameos. D.A. Hamilton Burger (William Tallman) even teams up with Perry Mason to free a client in The Case Of The Prudent Prosecutor. A very young Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) plays the secretary to a bitchy female novelist with ties to the mob (played delightfully to the hilt by Beverly Garland) in The Case Of The Mythical Monkeys. Hugh Marlowe (It Came from Outer Space) plays a naval captain who gets stabbed with an 11-inch screwdriver in The Case of the Slandered Submarine. And Marie Windsor (Narrow Margin) plays a temperamental dress designer named "Flavia" who gets mysteriously poisoned before her big spring fashion show in The Case Of The Madcap Modiste. It’s disorder in the court!
