“The Lady in the Iron Mask”

Another classic episode of Moonlighting. It has all the trappings of the iconic show, a case that doesn’t seem to be as it looks, Dave and Maddie disagreeing on whether they should take the case, a fight between them, and a weird third act chase scene.

And everyone looks better in a dress than David.

Cleverly written, the show follows David and Maddie as they appear to be manipulated by their client, though, in the end, they kind of stumble into the answer.

The chase scene at the end of the episode with the Lone Ranger theme playing and the four characters all dressed in a black dress and veil is visually funny on several levels. The end sequence when the four of them are in a line down the hallway being pursued and doing the pursuing is a wonderful shot. As is the final shot of the four of them sliding in the soap on the floor.

The added in one of the fights with David and Maddie when Maddie says things that she doesn’t mean and, as Ms. DiPesto said, ‘are you and Mom fighting?’ It is so clear that these two characters have unbelievable chemistry that when they interact in whatever manner they do, it is fire.
