Favourite episode: The Bow-wow Affair

[hypatia-66.livejournal.com]

Entertaining episode written by Alan Caillou. Napoleon trips over the office cat, Illya gets a first kiss (with a brainless heroine who at least takes the initiative in this), and there is Pat Harrington Jr, who is a comic turn in himself, with a lovely Italian accent. (He appeared in The Hula Doll Affair later).

Waverly, Illya and the injured Napoleon

Illya and Guido Panzini, the dog expert

Illya and the minx, Miss Baldwin

I agree, this is a charming episode, well played by the entire cast. Imagine, college girls protested that kiss and threatened to boycott the show if it happened again. Of course they wouldn't have done that, they'd have missed Illya completely ;)

Aw, I disagree. She's not brainless. If anything, I found her kind of weird and off-kilter, but not stupid. But then I like Susan Oliver in general. :-)

She had enough sense to steal a kiss from him :-DD

Yeah, you're right. I was just jealous.

Susan Oliver was stunning. She was a fascinating lady who died much too young. I loved this episode. It has one of my favorite Illya quotes:
"I'll have his teeth for cufflinks," when Napoleon puts him in a sticky situation.

It's a good one for quotes. "No man is free who must work for a living. But I'm available."

Yeah, Susan Oliver was in MFU and Alias Smith and Jones AND Star Trek! That's three of my all time favorites.

She was cool. And beautiful. I really liked her.
