Thanks. Much appreciated. I'm glad that you returned to Mission: Impossible.

The cream of the crop remains:
“Blind Man’s Buff”

I like Dan Clark who played heavies and mavericks on many CBS series like Rawhide (the season 3 “Incident of the Night Visitor”), Mission: Impossible (the season 7 “Hit”), Mannix, Hawaii Five-O. Bold Venture features the one and only Luana Anders: just for the actress you must watch it.
