No my favorite by any means, but the episode was good. The main point I was making was that Montalban's persona has a suave likable image. I thought the culture difference speech was very poignant.
I can't divorce that suave image of him from my idea of a more evil/cunning killer.
I have Ricardo Montalban on tape on 2 other programs.
One was the first season of Mission Impossible where he played Gerard Sefra, the sadistic commander of a Devil's Island-like prison colony. He was VERY arrogant and sadistic in that one. Then, of course, there is his classic role as Khan in Star Trek. Again, very arrogant. That is how I picture him. I never saw more than 1 or 2 episodes of Fantasy Island which I didn't like, so I don't think of him in those turns.
