In one episode , he and Paul have to break into an apartment building ( or some establishment , I don't recall exactly ) to search for evidence that will clear his client. " Isn't this considered breaking and entering ? " Drake aks. " Ordinarily yes Paul , but I just bought the building yesterday." replies Perry. What a guy !

She was one of Mickey Rooney`s squeezes, belive it or not.

Yeah , Tragg was always so smug , smirking , and sarcastic. He was also the one , usually , responsible for Burger making an ass of himself in court time and time again. You would think Burger would stop trusting him. I never cared much for Andy , Tragg's replacement. Too bland. Kneeteartap Last Edited By: kneeteartap Feb 25 12 1:15 AM. Edited 1 times.

Feb 25 12 5:27 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I agree. Andy and what was Richard Anderson's name? He was only in for the last year, I think. Neither of them were any good in the role. Did you notice that at first, they were both super nice to Perry and then the writers or director must have said, no you have to be more of an ass to Perry and they both went over the top in that. Neither could pull of the balancing act that Ray Collins did in that role.

But wow, I was really smitten with all of them! And it included a couple of classic heavy hitters, Otto Kruger and Mike Mazurski! Good episode and HOT

Maybe it was to avoid opening the driver's door and getting out into traffic? Although I've noticed 'em doing the same thing in a parking lot.

Feb 26 12 5:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	When I learned to drive , I was told it was a law that the driver had to exit the car on the passenger side when parked next to a curb! It may still be a law , just not enforced. I don't know. If it's true , that it is/was a law , I'm sure Perry would abide by it. Kneeteartap Last Edited By: kneeteartap Mar 4 12 9:17 PM.
