Featured review
Another cracking episode.
Once again, Frank is having to deal with a lot of things. While Ray & Henry have a heated exchange, and Ray pouts over his lack of advancement, Fay drops a bombshell on Frank. He is also NOT doing a good job of accepting Joyces' possible career advancement, and the possibility of losing her.
Mick causes Robin some embarrassment when he steps in for her during a brawl with out of control perp Lynn Tatum (Willard E. Pugh, "The Color Purple"). Later, Tatum is found dead in his cell, and with Joe being one of the last people to see him alive, he falls under suspicion. J. D. Thinks he sees another opportunity to strike it rich by promoting fast-talking comedian Vic Hitler (a very engaging Terry Kiser, of "Weekend at Bernie's" fame). He becomes Vics' advocate, just as Mick does for old men Barney (Whitman Mayo, 'Sanford and Son') and Fred (Harry Caesar, "The Longest Yard"). Desperate for money, the two sad cases had staged an armed robbery.
'The Belles of St. Mary's' rates as more top entertainment, as only this cast & crew can deliver. It achieves an admirable balancing act between silly comedy (an addict played by Marco Rodriguez is always acting out inside the station) and some poignant drama. You do feel bad for the old men, and can't help but like the upbeat Vic, who naturally doesn't like to have to utter his last name.
Recurring players such as Pat Corley, Gregory Sierra, and Trinidad Silva (a hoot as always) combine with other superb guest stars like Ally Sheedy ("The Breakfast Club"), Dennis Burkley of "Mask" (playing a thug named Sonny Crockett) and Larry D. Mann ("The Sting"), while the entire main cast is in typically fine form.
A treat to watch from beginning to end.
Eight out of 10.
