Today's feature details the comic misadventures that ensue when a timid Diner's Club employee(Danny Kaye) issues a credit card to a gangster(a pre-Kojak Telly Savalas with hair!). The beautiful Martha Hyer(who died last year) makes a lovely leading lady as Kaye's fiancee while veteran comedy director provides the ample slapstick and visual humor in spades.

Screenwriter Bill Blatty would go on to write THE EXORCIST under his full name, William Peter Blatty.

Yep. And 6 years before he battled James Bond in Switzerland.
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
It’s definitely in that Sinatra-sounding style but it’s Steve Lawrence as in Steve and Eydie.
To: BenLurkin
Yep. Another good one from Kaye is “On The Double” which I plan on posting as a MFASA if I ever find it on the net.
To: ReformationFan
Yes, with George Lazybum as JB.

I must have watched every single Twilight zone episode 100 times, if not more. I can remember watching them all the way back to the 1970s, probably one of the most brilliant shows ever written. They had exactly 20 minutes to blow your mind and they would almost always do it despite the networks working against Serling at every opportunity. They even made him use video tape at one point to save money and back then you couldn't edit video tape, so he devised a system where he would use multiple cameras feeding into one tape and would switch them on and off and the whole show would literally be one take. Then they demanded he make the show a hour long so he would have to fill in an hour, and he almost always produced a mind blowing show. He's was a genius and a paratrooper in the 11th Airborne in the Philipines WW2, I actually visited his grave in the 1980s and paid my respects. The guy died when he was only 50 years old.

A true genius and way ahead of his time in many ways.
Just when I think I’ve seen all the episodes, I see another one I’ve never watched before.
And I supposedly own the “complete” sets on DVD. LOL
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
No. It’s Steve Lawrence singing ‘Man From the Dinner’s Club. :)
