Patrick Duffy did a significant achievement as a director!
Among the best episodes that deals with humanity and their individual considerations. The most remarkable fulfillment in this episode would be everyone's characteristics, both literally and figuratively speaking. Their positions, both within their scenes and individual movements implemented was well organized and regarded the full picture. The editing, that was composite, of the cutting was really great. And i thought that the whole structure was nice cut together and how and when the scenes come into adaptation. The camera perspective was excellent, which resulted in display of each ones definition(s). Although it lacked, to some extent, sensational visuals or something like that. It did nonetheless bring quality lightning and good shadeness with good overall tone.
I don't know if it's all of the actors, or the directing and overall writing section. But for sometime, especially in this episode, i'm starting to like them more and get an overall interest for the rest of the oilmens & lawyers.
For the actors, they really shined. Patrick bringed out the very best from his co-workers. And Patrick was in this episode a lot, that say something how good of an artist he is! Among the best episodes for Barbara Bel Geddes! How she delivered her dialogues was something else. It was great emotion behind her speech but they never became bigger than her. And also how Victoria (take sides) with Barbara Bel Geddes character, i find it stimulating and in general gripping. Victoria Principal, as of always, really deliver and bring something exceptional. Her acting is impressive and extraordinary. Kercheval performance was excellent and unlike Bel Geddes, he thoroughly let his screenplay get extensive and encompass as a whole. That proves (and everyone of these actors actually) how good of an actor Ken is. It could easily been over the top or something like that, especially in the situation Kercheval's character is in. To some extent, Kercheval's character is full of fragileness, but in addition to that, he's also strong and deep with characteristics. That is something hard to portray as an actor but Ken does it magnificent. And talk about Charlene. She maintain a greatness and never let her character be featureless or bland. In particular when she is in her depressed or gloomy attitude. That could easily be repeating as it's (to some extent) frequent. But she consistently bring out some creativeness and altogether newness. And (especially in her miserable state) her acting for all the movements and overall body acting is supreme. As well as portraying her attitude, remarkable dispatching it is. Also really liked Charlene's placement in this episode. Great developing on how she was position and placementing in front of the camera, as well as amongst the characters within the scene. Furthermore her connection to everyone else was achieved excellently. And for Howard Keel's character, someone that i doesn't care for much, even he starting to get an intriguing development. Which sides he's on, whom he rather get allied with and so on. Audrey Landers is surprisingly good and her chemistry towards Ken has always been particularly good. This episode i find her more compelling than usual, i don't know why but Duffy really bringed out something! Priscilla Pointer is starting to grow into something extraordinary and is really curious to see where and whom she is associated with.
This episode was a great one and much for Duffy's directing! "Mama Dearest" get an estimable 9,85/10.
