77 Sunset Strip: Penthouse on Skid Row (1962)
Season 4, Episode 18
6/10
A communal house
24 June 2017
This episode of 77 Sunset Strip has Jeff Spencer going undercover as a ham actor and living in a very unusual house. It's the idea of Salvation Army worker Lewis Charles who lives there with a group of people who haven't really had good breaks lately. A former jockey, a has been prizefighter, a retired stripper, folks like that. Someone is pushing them around. They've pooled their money and they own it together like a commune, but someone on the inside is betraying them.

Roger Smith brings in Louis Quinn as a fellow boarder and he and Mae Questal hit it off great. She knows him as a racetrack tout, nothing more. Edd Byrnes pairs off with show business hopeful Grace Lee Whitney and is around when she gets framed on a narcotics rap.

Eventually the informer is discovered and it really is no surprise. I kind of liked the idea of this communal house for these people. This one is worth looking at.
