Briggs is forced to play along with powerful mobster boss Frank Egan (William Smithers when the daughter of Briggs' friend Joe Mantell is kidnapped. In order to secure the girl's release, Briggs and the IMF must themselves kidnap the key witness against Egan in an upcoming Grand Jury investigation. This pulse-pounding Mission: Impossible episode was a radical--and effective--departure from the series' usual format.

Marty is surrounded by shallow, loser friends like Angie (Joe Mantell), who in their own way are as clinging as Marty's defensive, widowed mother (Esther Minciotti). Marty's sister Virginia (Karen Steele) struggles in an unhappy marriage with Tommy (Jerry Paris), with both the troublemaking mother-in-law (Augusta Ciolli) and the infant depicted as burdens rather than blessings. Catholicism does not come off well, either. Just to consider suicide is a sin, while the obligation of attending Sunday Mass leads to much family discord.

What Joe says is mostly right, but the ability of a consumer to overcome a biased forum is extremely limited. You have to file an arbitration, pay a big filing fee, go through the whole process and get an adverse ruling, then go to court and hope you win the bias argument. Which at the end of the day, at best gets you a new arbitration before a different arbitrator.

The performances were great, especially from Borgnine, Mantell and Blair. The rest of the supporting cast was ... great. Also this film is what launched Borgnine from supporting guy to many other lead roles in later films. Delbert Mann's direction was great and never looses touch. It was basically an all-around great film.

Mantell ... appeared in Storm Center (1956) and Chinatown (1974). In the latter he played the fairly small role of Walsh the photographer, who delivered the film's famous last line, "Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown".
