Thanks for uploading this. A complete episode with commercials and both opening and closing cues as I remembered them as a baby boomer.

Thank You for this episode!
The intention of the enemy!
You can never tell or judge how much anyone can take mentally before they break. Its the enemy that's causing the torture not one who breaks who is your enemy.

1:23 Bettie Page?

[@DocBruceBanner]

I don't see any resemblance. Looks too scrawny and plain to be the powerfully-built Ms. Page.

[@Fireglo]

@@DocBruceBanner she said in an interview she was in an episode of this show so been trying to find her. It's difficult because she get didn't her easily identifiable bangs until she started modelling.

[@DocBruceBanner]

@@Fireglo Yeah, but this woman doesn't have Bettie's face or body. She was a lot more than her bangs. This series was also on for 10 years. Lot of episodes.
