I just read the exciting news that there's going to be a Perry Mason movie, and that
Robert Downey Jr. will play Perry Mason.
My goodness. I wonder who will be Della Street?
When I was six years old I loved Perry Mason - the one show I didn't want to miss. It was probably the first thing I ever watched that wasn't a cartoon. About five years later, the Perry Mason novels were the first adult novels I started to read.
I hope they aren't planning to camp it up, as they did with Holmes. I can't quite imagine that. But apparently it will be set in 1930s Los Angeles, so I'm hoping for witty film noir.
