Watched it today on Start TV- funny thing, the best friend was made to look like Betty Page (sp) the greatest pinup of all time, and they did a bang up job, she looked fantastic, really terrific and much more believable as a pinup than the actress who played the lead (maybe it was the bad wig?) The way the lead pinup was photographed made her look less like a pinup than the other girl.- Agree that the furnishings, lighting, costumes and music really made the episode- they even included some of the haunting music from the episode Best Friends( one of my favorites), in the sequence where she takes street photos, as well as lots of classics.

All I can add to the other reviews is to recognize the innovative camera work, where a lot of the episode was shot in black and while, but with touches of red (even in the flashbacks)- the cars, the flashing red lights- really made the episode unique.

Cold Case did several fine episodes featuring LGBTQ themes- really ahead of it's time- It's Raining Men (loved the ending of that one), Daniela, and the one about the young baseball player -the title I have forgotten- but not the episode.

Cold Case did amazing episodes on racism as well- always moving. The show tackled so many things that we should stucy today- if you cannot find the series on repeat on cable, check out Amazon and see if you can buy it- well worth it.

No matter how many times I watch it ( the series repeats on Start TV) I love it more.
