Wait a minute—where’d this come from? A late-cycle film noir with a script by Rod Serling, from a novel by Whit (Touch of Evil) Masterson? Starring Pat Boone as an egomaniacal pop crooner whose only child is kidnapped for a king’s ransom? With Barbara Eden as his wife? And Jack Klugman the investigating cop? With a wall-to-wall jazz-pop score by Kenyon Hopkins? And a supporting cast that’s a Who’s Who of sixties favorites: Steve Forrest, Jesse White, Harold Gould, Milton Seltzer, Jeff Corey, Joe Turkel . . .
