Of course, she's ...AS usual, the hottie client. Of course, she's scantily clad. Inevitably, she lies to Perry. Why return again and again to the Perry Mason stories that invariably feature damsels in distress, the powerful exploiting the vulnerable, and the cunning and resourceful hero who combines wise tactics and hot-headed action to make everything right in the end? Because these irresistible elements, the stuff of heroic myth, possess endless appeal. Sure, everybody wants an honest, loyal and efficient lawyer that will fight when the going gets rough. But even more, everybody wants a supporter, an advocate who knows our weaknesses like telling fibs and making messed-up choices but pleads our case eloquently and shrewdly anyway.

I liked those better than the old TV show. That just didn't do much for me for some reason.<br />Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-24310884378608591642013-01-26T20:15:12.767-05:002013-01-26T20:15:12.767-05:00Jeez, Bev, once upon a time I read tons of Perry M...Jeez, Bev, once upon a time I read tons of Perry Masons, devoured them like candy. And then I stopped.<br /><br />Tried reading one last year and just couldn't. But this one sounds mighty interesting, I must admit.<br /><br />Have you tried watching the Perry Mason movies with Warren Williams? As much as I love Warren Williams, they do leave a bit to be desired. Not WW's fault though.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-37223559560724536952013-01-26T16:04:54.286-05:002013-01-26T16:04:54.286-05:00Very interesting.
