4.0 out of 5 stars The "Hand " That Robbed The Crib, March 18, 2002

One of the finest exhibitions of plotting, stealth, pinpoint timing, acting, writing, and oh yeah, true IMF coincidences,
few fans will want to leave their seats during this two parter!

The plan is to free a cardinal bishop from a high security prison which has never been victim to a prison escape. Martin Landau's interaction with the frail cardinal took on a
somewhat father son quality. Mary Ann Mobley was brilliant
as the trapeeze artist. She and Barbara Bain worked their seductive magic in an effort to stall and divert the guards attention. The fine performances by Greg Morris as the clown and Peter Lupus punctuate the episodes. And of course, no 1st season episode would be considered a
classic without the great Steven Hill. His ability to slide
from total involvement to complete anonymity is a gift
that was occasionally explored but never eclipsed by Peter Graves. This episode along with Operation Rogosh and Ransom leaves you with a marvelous and wistful taste of
what could have been of Mission had Steven Hill stayed on.
Fine television viewing right to the finish!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Of Season One!!!, January 14, 2005

" Old Man Out " with Mary Ann Mobley as special guest star was the best 2 - part episode of season one, possibly ever, of the IMF series from the sixties. It was my all time favourite, and I agree with fellow reviewers, this entire series, or at least the first 4 - 5 seasons should be on DVD. However I ordered it August 2004, and after several messages saying it would be sent, I finally received a message saying NONE of Amazons suppliers can provide it for me. SO DON'T GET EXCITED ABOUT IT!!! Because they don't have it!!! So why is it still advertised on their site?? The other thing is my copy of " The Bunker ",which was my all-time 2nd. fave episode was sent, but has 6-7 flaws in the videotape!! I love the service,(Amazon.ca), but you have really let me down this time! Take Volume 3 off your site for Gods' sake!- Ron Larocque.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate First Season Mission: Impossible Episodes, February 21, 2001

By 

Charles W. Wilcox (Ellenboro, West Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Mission: Impossible Vol.7 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This two-parter from MISSION's first season is arguably the best of '66-'67. OLD MAN OUT parts one and two showcase the IMF in all their mindbending glory as they set out to free political prisoner Cardinal Vossek (Cyril Delevanti) from an impregnable jail. To free Vossek, the IMF must pose as a travelling carnival troupe which takes up residence outside the prison walls. Although not as sophisticated as some of the later episodes, OLD MAN OUT does feature outstanding performances by Marin Landau, Barbara Bain and guest star May Ann Mobely. Character interaction is also at an all-time high, as in this episode more than any other, the characters appear more human as opposed to the clockwork machines they later became.
