Who’s That Girl?
While watching “The Case of the Ill-Fated Faker” (1960) last night, towards the end of the episode, Perry asks cocktail waitress “Francis Banks” to stand, at which point confessions started to fly. It was an outstanding episode, but when Ms. Banks arose, I immediately thought it was Lola Albright from Peter Gunn, but since the actress was un-credited, and never spoke or smiled, we may never know. To stir the pot, I rewound the episode and took a screen shot. Is it Lola?
EDIT (02/21/24): Sometime after posting this queation, the imdb was updated to claim it was Donna Hayes, but it shows she only showed in one episode, The Case of the Envious Editor. I’ll admit here is a resemblance, so, who knows?
Alright, Who Played With the Bat-Signal?

The Amazing Transparent Man, 1960
A crazed former U.S. Army major Paul Krenner designs an invisibility machine and uses it on an escaped convict who was doing time for safe-cracking to gather more material to improve his device in order to create an army or invisible men! The safe-cracker, however, has other plans. Decent flick, less than an hour long, you can watch it here (archive.org)
