Man in a Suitcase: Sweet Sue (1.7, ITC, 1967)

"Oh, you're a detective! A cheap, prying, flat-footed peephole specialist."

"I'm not cheap."

#man in a suitcase #sweet sue #1967 #itc #classic tv #robert tronson #phillip broadley #richard bradford #judy geeson #george a. cooper #david cole #peter blythe #ian mcculloch #jacqueline pearce #terence donovan #lewis teasdale #john clive #not an episode i really remembered anything about‚ which could be a bad sign‚ but actually this proves to be a very solid ep on rewatch #the third ep in production‚ but the shifted transmissions mean that really this is the first time we see McGill on an ordinary (ie. without #personal stakes) case (even Sitting Pigeon involved him being blackmailed into taking the assignment). it means we get to see a slightly #different side of Bradford's performance; he's more laid back throughout much of this episode‚ even clearly having fun in some of the #earlier scenes. of course it all builds to a typically violent showdown (a truly brutal fistfight and a classic bloodied McGill). Bradford #was deeply involved in arranging and producing these fights but developed a reputation for being a little too rough‚ worrying some of the #other actors; he was also responsible for the graphic makeup and wound effects that he apparently applied himself. a strong supporting cast #includes a young Geeson (just 19 and at the start of an impressive career) and Cole and Blythe make for good sneery public schoolboy types #albeit both are just a little old for the part (both in their 30s in roles clearly intended to be closer to Geeson's age). director Tronson #had already heard horror stories about Bradford but in the end the two got on very well (and both wrote kindly of the other in later life)#it was from around this time that Lew Grade (as well as American financiers from ABC) began to keep a closer eye on production‚ concerned #by reports of Bradford's difficulty and deviations from scripts. but it doesn't show here‚ in a well directed and punchily scripted ep

Brian Asman: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of FUCK THIS HOUSE King: haha oh man! that title! that’s great! King: i’m sold already! Asman: good, cuz it’s kinda all downhill from here Asman: so this family moves into a new house Asman: and by the way the son in this family consumed his unborn twin in the womb Asman: just getting that shit right out there on the first page King: brian! you can’t do that! you gotta pace yourself! Asman: naw

Asman: listen you think living in a haunted house is bad? Asman: you should try it yourself! Asman: that’s right, I’m giving away a FREE haunted house to one lucky winner! Asman: and it could be Asman: YOU

[showing off a haunted house] Asman: now this house, we like to call it a ghostbuster’s dream Barker: yeah right man i’ll be the judge of that Poe: clive let him give his spiel Asman: s-so this house comes equipped with hot and cold running chills...

Barker: what’s that smell? Asman: ooo smells like the infernal fires of hell breaking theough the veil huh? Barker: you were just baking charcoal in the oven to give it that welcoming haunted house smell weren’t you Asman: Barker: c’mon man i know all the tricks Barker: i’ve seen HGTV

Asman: i’m sure you’ll find this house to your liking Asman: check this out Asman: walls continue upright, bricks meet neatly, floors are firm Asman: [thumping door] hear that? Asman: doors sensibly shut Shirley Jackson: [mumbling excitedly] Mary Shelley: yeah yeah i hear ya Mary Shelley: how’s the silence lay here? steadily? Asman: now if you’ll follow me into the master bedroom you’ll find a Asman: oh did you hear that? Poe: hear what? Asman: [knocking on wall] that knocking! oh it must be the ghost! Poe: you just knocked Asman: IT MUST BE THE GHOST!

Barker: gotta be honest here, man Barker: i don’t think this house is really haunted Asman: no no of course it’s haunted [wind blows through eaves] Barker: is that the wind blowing through the eaves? Asman: oh no no no Asman: of course not Asman: it must be the ghost

Asman: any questions about this haunted house? John Wiswell: is it a friendly haunted house? Asman: no, its the bad kind Asman: next question King: how many ghosts are in here? Asman: 999 happy haunts Asman: but there’s room for one more

Barker: if this house is so haunted, then maybe you wouldn’t mind a visit from the world’s foremost ghost hunters Asman: of course not! i would welcome it Arthur Conan Doyle: I’m arthur conan doyle Charles Dickens: and I’m Charles Dickens Dickens: together we are Dickens & Doyle: GHOST CLUB

Dickens: so you say this house is haunted? Asman: uhh yeah totally Doyle: that’s good enough for me! case closed! Dickens: NOT SO FAST

Dickens: if this house is REALLY haunted Dickens: you wouldn’t have to play Dickens: [dramatic reveal sting] THIS record of Walt Disney’s Thrilling Chilling Sounds of the Haunted House on loop! Dickens: and you wouldn’t Dickens: [dramatic reveal sting] need G.E. Woods to hide in the closet to make haunted house sounds! Woods: [holding out peeled grapes] these are the ghosts’ eyeballs Asman: Curses! And would have gotten away with it Asman: if it wasn't for you meddling ghost club! Doyle: Doyle: i still think it’s haunted
