Another example of an acting choice was also made by Dick Van Dyke in his performance of Mr. Dawes Sr., the head of the bank. A great scene of the acting choices made by Van Dyke is when Mr. Dawes

    feels too much like television. Grade: C+ "Episode 13" Now that 's more like it. Dismissing the b-team, Harley Peyton and Robert Engels turn in a script that Lesli Linka Glatter directs in full Twin Peaks style. Super Nadine 's still around and Van Dohlen 's still overemoting but it all fits together much better.
