Achtung! More Season Four...
- Hogan's working with a beautiful underground agent (is there any other kind?), but she might be a double agent. Marj Dusay plays the agent--while she had many guest roles (including the worst episode of Star Trek and two other Hogan roles), she is best known for her 16 years of work on the soap Guiding Light.
- Another guest star in the episode is Ned Glass, who plays the grocery store owner. His career goes back to the Three Stooges, as well as a recurring role on Gunsmoke, and continued through to 1981.
- A very naive (I'm going to call him dumb) foreign correspondent decides it's a great idea to publicize what Hogan and the boys are doing under Stalag 13. He doesn't name the camp, but it's more than enough to get Hochstedder involved. He sends in a ringer--there's a new guard that's also a spy. You may recognize both guests:
- The correspondent is played by Richard Erdman, who's had TV guest roles since the 1950's, and currently plays Leonard on the cult show Community (Go Human Beings!)
- The guard/spy is played by James B. Sikking, who played three different roles on the series, but is best known for his work on Hill Street Blues
- There's agents, double agents, poison rings, snipers, important briefcases--it's another Mission: Impossible episode. Actually, it's a Bad Day in Berlin". This episode is crawling with famous faces as guest stars--stay tuned.
- The Blue Baron (a famous WWI pilot) is in town, and Hogan wants to know where his secret airbase is. How? Get Klink to throw a party in "Will the Blue Baron Strike Again?". This otherwise minor episode has three interesting points:
- Cpl. Langenscheidt covers for Schultz--John Banner missed this episode
- One of the dancing girls is played by Cynthia Lynn aka Helga from season one
- The budget must have run out--the "airfield" looks like it has cardboard planes
Cast info:
Arlene Martel (Tiger) played an underground agent in 7 episodes of the show (she also had the character names of Gretchen and Olga). She was born in the slums of the Bronx, but her mother's boss covered the costs for Arlene to attend a Connecticut boarding school. She attended New York's High School of the Performing Arts, and started her career in the Broadway production of "Uncle Willie" at age 16. She went to Hollywood and began television roles including The Twilight Zone, Route 66, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission Impossible, The Rockford Files, and Knot's Landing. Her talent with dialects came in very handy. Of course, there's also a Star Trek connection--she played T'Pring! Her latest role was on Brothers and Sisters in 2010.
Remember, you can play along! The DVD box set is available on Amazon.
