Lately, I've been on this
Naked City kick, renting them from the library and such. The latest episode, the opening episode of its fourth and final season,
"Hold For Gloria Christmas" had a fantastic story with
Burgess Meredeth as this alcoholic, beat poet in the village (filmed on location) with this cool poetry showdown with a very hip
Alan Alda going toe to toe with Meredeth.


My favorite fanboy moments from this great episode are incidental. Two times the visit the newstand on Christopher St. and the first time theres a new copy of
Amazing Fantasy #15 (the first appearance of
Spider Man)

This all must have been filmed August 1962 because later on Adam Flint (Paul Burke) returns to grill the blind newstand owner and whats there but
"Journey into Mystery" #83 (first appearance by
Thor)
Do you desire to see this fine episode? if you are into downloading torrents the episode is available on
mininova!
