Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The key to Perry Mason was that it was a game show. It was 'Who Killed Cock Robin?' You had five suspects, each of whom had their own scene [opposite Mason] in the course of each show-and each of whom had a chance to 'one-up' Mason in that scene. So when it got to court in the second half of the show, the imprint of the characters was so strong that the game persisted. That, with outstanding scripts and direction, plus the chemistry between Raymond Burr and the rest of the cast, are the main reasons for the show's popularity."~Arthur Marks,producer of the original CBS series,director of seventy-six episodes of Perry Mason (more than any other director)"The underlying dynamic behind the appeal of Perry Mason is that it was a show about innocent people who are unjustly accused. Everyone would like to have a 'Godfather,' and to some extent Raymond Burr filled that part. It was an indestructible formula."~Dean Hargrove,writer of Perry Mason Returns,executive producer of the NBC Perry Mason moviesBased on the best-selling novels of Erle Stanley Gardner, Perry Mason was an idealized portrayal of our legal system-a reminder that, in the end, what matters is that justice is truly served. Part whodunit, part courtroom thriller, both the long-running original series (CBS, 1957-1966) and the equally successful made-for-TV movies (NBC, 1985-1995) have not only captivated audiences around the world since their respective premieres, but continue to attract new viewers every day via cable and DVD.THE CASE OF THE ALLITERATIVE ATTORNEY tells you everything you wanted to know about the iconic TV series that made Raymond Burr a star. Featuring a comprehensive episode guide to both the original CBS series and NBC movies, the book includes interviews and commentaries from such esteemed Perry Mason alumni as Barbara Hale ("Della Street") and Richard Anderson ("Lieutenant Drumm"); guest actors Ruta Lee, David McCallum, H.M. Wynant, Jacqueline Scott, June Lockhart and Margaret O'Brien; producer/director Arthur Marks; writer/producer Dean Hargrove; directors Ron Satlof, Christian Nyby II and James Sheldon; and many, many others. Plus: insight into the writing and production of both the CBS and NBC series; fun and interesting factoids for every episode; behind-the-scenes photographs; and a whole lot more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perry Mason was one of the most successful television programs from the 1950s and remains one of the most influential crime melodramas from any period. The show's influence goes far beyond its nine-year tenure (1957-66), the millions of dollars it generated for its creators and for CBS, and the definitive identification it provided its star, Raymond Burr. Perry Mason has become a true piece of Americana, evolving through a formulaic approach that law professors continue to use today as a teaching tool. In his examination of Perry Mason, author Thomas Leitch looks at why this series has appealed to so many for so long and what the continued appeal tells us about Americans' attitudes toward lawyers and the law, then and now. Beginning with its roots in earlier detective fiction, stories of fictional attorneys, and the work of Erle Stanley Gardner (the show's creator), Leitch lays out the circumstances under which Perry Mason was conceived and marketed as a distinct franchise. The evolution of Perry Mason is charted here in an inclusive manner, discussing the show's broadcast history (ending with the series of two-hour telemovies that aired nearly twenty years after the original series ended) alongside its generic nature and place within popular culture, the show's ideological dynamic, and issues of authorship in the context of television. This concise study is an excellent tool for television and media scholars as well as fans of the Perry Mason series.
