The Phil Silvers Show 1.17

Investigation. Weak ending where Bilko’s scheme is easily undone. I wonder if this was done for moral reasons? An ending tacked on so that Bilko’s plotting and lying would not go rewarded. Whatever the reason, it really doesn’t work. But up to that… great fun. Sparkling chemistry between regulars, particularly Phil Silvers and Paul Ford, and many hearty laughs.
