Perry Mason: The Case of the Midnight Howler (1966)

Perry Mason: The Case of the Midnight Howler (1966)
Future Hill Street Blues star Dan Travanti (still billing himself as "Travanty") is cast as Barney Austin, the abrasive host of a late-night radio call-in show (one of several 1960s takeoffs of volatile talkmeister Joe Pyne). In mid-broadcast, Austin receives a note instructing him to place an on-the-air call to his boss Kevin Steele. As a result, the vast radio audience hears the sound of an argument, followed by two gunshots--and not long afterward, Holly Andrews (Myrna Fahey) is accused of Steele's murder. Normally, Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) would enter the story at this point as Holly's defense attorney; instead, because he was listening to Austin at the time of the murder, Perry is subpoenaed as a witness for the prosecution! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
