Caught a cool episode of Mission: Impossible last night from 1972, entitled: 'Break!'.
In short, the team uses a computer program and a remote controlled cue ball, to turn Jim Phelps into a world-class level pool player. It's quite a hoot to watch!
Also stars Robert (Wild Wild West) Conrad and Robert (Chester from SOAP) Mandan as guest stars. Much of the play is conducted on a pristine vintage Gold Crown. It's really funny to see which actors have actually handled a cue before and which have obviously not - as some of the actors actually demonstrate they have a 'stroke'; and others, very obviously not.
Best scenes are with Greg Morris secretly in the mobile computer van, talking to Phelps at the table, over his hidden ear-piece; and saying things like: "8-5 combination in the Corner Pocket, setting you up for the 9 in the side. I'll control the English from here..." LOL!!!
Loved it! - GJ
