#i am now like 99% certain that babs was bringing her own hats onto the set of every job she took
#that or it was in her contract that she must have a fabulous hat for her character (and probably that she got to keep it)
#strange to think this was just 4 years after The Power Game ended when it feels like another era entirely
#probably that is the itc effect‚ plus the specifically dingy early 70s feel of this itc series in particular
#Lady Pam... I mean Diane‚ is supposedly the unappreciated wife of a business tycoon who decides to get her husband's attention via
#jealousy: she leaks a fake romance between her and Mr Greatest Everything Ever Gene B to the press. except actually her husband is broke
#and so they're going to fake his death‚ frame Gene for his murder‚ collect his substantial life insurance and live heavily
#ever after. one pressing question: why? why involve international superstar and businessman Gene? why specifically a murder?
#couldn't they have faked a drowning? y'know that might not have needed a body either. or a small plane crash. or anything‚ anything that
#doesn't involve framing a super sleuth you don't even know for murder?? bizarre
#but then this has been a bizarre series‚ a routinely very stupid one‚ and it's only the occasional appearances of actors
#of the quality of a Babs Murray that's got me through it without losing my mind... she's very good of course‚ all sickly sweet insincerity
#and quiet scheming. i kind of wish she'd got away with it too
