Perry Mason: The Case of the Musical Murder

I bought the whole set of Perry Mason movies. I enjoy them. However? In the original series. Perry Mason had a Courteous/Friendly but competitive and adversarial relationship with his DA.(The late William Talman). He had the same kind of relationship with the character played by David Ogden Steirs for 9 episodes. Then they bring in Valerie Mahaffey for a few episodes? They take ZERO time to develop the same type of relationship. In many of the episodes? They waste a TREMENDOUS amount of time with William Moses' character running or driving through the streets. Running through buildings. Running through warehouses. Knocking people down while chasing someone. A waste of time if done too long and too often. There should have been a few short scenes developing the character relationship between Perry Mason and Valarie's DA Character. A talent like her, and it is WASTED..... There would have been personal and professional friction. Maybe even sexual ones like Perry and Della. The point is they had a VERY talented actress for DA and wasted the opportunity. There should have been less running, jumping, car smashing, and more on the characters and their development. Devolving into a "Formula" and not taking chances? They are cheating. I like the show. I will watch all the movies? But they wasted some great Hollywood talent with Valerie Mahaffey!
