Perry Mason - The Case of the Ancient Romeo
Season 5 - Episode 28
Originally aired - May 5, 1962
The Case of the Podcast is a Perry Mason Fan Podcast. We love and enjoy episodes from a tv show from the late 1950’s and early 1960. It’s so old, it was filmed in Black & White.
This is the first episode from season five that we are choosing at random using a random number generator. We will be choosing our episodes this way season by season. We’re excited by this new process which will give each season a chance to shine.

Perry and Della’s love life (or lack thereof)
Were they on a date? Or was it work?
Dubbed "The First Lady of the Theatre" by a theatre critic, Cornell was the first performer to receive the Drama League Award, for Romeo and Juliet in 1935.
Dee spills the tea
In the final dinner scene, the wall behind Paul Drake in his close-up shots looks very different from what we can see of the restaurant background in the shots of the whole group at the table. During the first part of the wrap up scene, when paul is explaining about the smuggling, he is seated by himself with a plain wall behind him. Then when he says “wow, like that lady in Hamlet” he is seated between Perry and Della. Two totally different backgrounds. Obviously, this scene was filmed with two different sets at two different times.
You’ll want to go back and take a look.
That’s the tea!
