Decent late season episode
by VetteRanger2022-12-11

"Let's face it, after the first couple of seasons, Fantasy Island episodes got quite a bit lame sometimes ... and some of them ridiculously "out there". Roark became more of an Arch Angel figure with godlike powers rather than a clever island owner with unlimited resources. In this episode, there were a couple of head-shaking casting choices, particularly Robert Mandan as King Arthur. LOL The other was Donny Most as a Phantom of the Opera type figure. The other odd thing about Donny Most was, strangely enough, the appearance of Tommy Smothers as a man who wished to meet King Art..."

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) was filmed while this episode was also being filmed. This kept Ricardo Montalban very busy.
