She calls in Perry and as usual Perry, Della and Ken swing into action to find out who really did it...
THE CASE OF THE TELLTALE TALKSHOW HOST(The Movie)
On the set of a popular daytime soap opera 'Mile High', actress Kris Buckner is being forced off by co-star Mark Stratton. When she says that she'll 'kill him before she leaves the show', she makes herself the prime suspect when Stratton is murdered by someone poisoning him. As an old friend, Perry Mason comes to the help of Kris and agrees to defend her. Meanwhile Ken goes in search of information with the help of fan of the show.
THE CASE OF THE KILLER KISS (The Movie)
Bill McKenzie's niece works as a production assistant for controversial television personality Josie Joplin, who publicly accuses her of having an affair with her husband. One night McKenzie's niece receives a message which she believes is from Josie to go to her hotel room, when she gets there someone knocks her out and when she wakes up, Josie is dead and she's the number one suspect, so McKenzie defends her.
The first two TV movies/episodes shown her a featured in one DVD/Blu-Ray disc, with Perry Mason(RAYMOND BURR) himself, Della Street(BARBARA HALE) and Ken Malansky(WILLIAM R. MOSES). Third movie still has Ken Malansky, but Perry Mason is in The Hague, Netherlands. Ms. Hale makes a cameo as Ms. Street, but it is from her that we learn that they are off to The Hague.
Since Perry and Della are abroad, Ken Malansky helps a Perry's friend and associate, Bill McKenzie(HAL HOLBROOK) in solving his innocent niece's case. Aiding them is HOLLAND TAYLOR as Janice, Della's assistant. In 1993, Raymond Burr died, but keep the series alive until 1995, Paul Sorvino and Hal Holbrook took over. They just made an excuse to where Perry was every time. It was never the same again with Raymond Burr according to fans, but the last four episodes were pretty exciting too.
All of the three movies featured in this blog has Ken Malansky doing the legwork, getting into trouble, sometimes falling into a traps, but he is able to help in solving the mysteries.
The 1990s version of Perry Mason could be likened to Murder, She Wrote. The matters are serious, but there are light moments.
If you are interested in watching all three, I have included the links above.
Thanks for your time!
