I'll always have a soft spot for "The Guilty Men," sixth of producer Fletcher Markle's 8 generally dismissed crime entries. The story of two poverty stricken brothers whose lives take very different paths, there are elements of "The Godfather" present, especially in the surprise casting of John Marley as the humanitarian sibling who grows up to become a respected doctor while the other (Frank Silvera) becomes an underworld mob kingpin with the assistance of his childhood friend and longtime attorney (Everett Sloane). Silvera's character has a bad heart, and he wants the syndicate to drop the dope activities so that he can appear more philanthropic to his doctor brother, a suggestion that leads his scheming rival, played to the hilt by Jay C. Flippen, to plot a brutal takeover with the aid of Anthony Caruso, who played yet another mobster in the STAR TREK episode "A Piece of the Action." Yes, the characters may be clichéd, the plot may be utterly predictable, but the strong cast delivers on all counts, especially Everett Sloane, who tragically took his own life just five years after this show was broadcast. Jay C. Flippen died in 1971, John Marley in 1984, and Frank Silvera, an eerie presence in the hourlong Hitchcock thriller "The Life Work of Juan Diaz," was accidentally electrocuted in 1970 after his friend Royal Dano warned him not to mess with a malfunctioning garbage disposal unit.
