The Best of the Vintage
|
"I Spy" is that rare show that transcends its genre. Sure it was a espionage program, but it was also high adventure, witty comedy and riveting drama. "So Long Patrick Henry" showcases three gems in this remarkable series: the aforementioned title episode, 'The Loser,' and 'The Tiger.'
It's no coincidence that the best episodes of "I Spy" were written by Robert Culp. Culp episodes have the distinction of brilliant dialogue, taut plotlines and memorable characterizatons. They also hold up well some 40 years later.
All the episodes are fantastic, but 'So Long Patrick Henry' will always be my favorite. It was the episode that hooked me on "I Spy." This is probably the most action-packed installment of the series' entire run and features great performances by Ivan Dixon (Kinchloe on "Hogans Heroes") and Cicely Tyson. Their relationship, as written by Culp, is very touching.
I am huge fan of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," but if you compare the two, "I Spy" holds up much better.
It's a shame television doesn't make 'em like this anymore.
