Yes it's an excellent film. Completely out of place in the Vipco catalogue.
Mannix was a great series and Mike Connors really should have gone on to greater things. He mainly did TV work though I remember him in the lousy Stagecoach remake (with Ann Margret and err... Bing Crosby), Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die (great 60's spy swinger), and the cheesy Lee Marvin Avalanche Express. I last saw him in the hugely underrated Gideon with Christopher Lambert.
