one reason why frid didn't become a major horror movie star after ds could be that the whole climate in hollywood was changing drastically during the late 1960's and early 1970's.
there was a definative move away from artiface in favor of a gritty new realism.look at the kind of films that were being made at the time.with his debonair,cultured manner frid probably seemed like the product of another time(even though he was still relatively young).it's difficult to imagine him in the type of gross-out slasher horror films that became popular in the 70's.
t.v. being somewhat behind filmaking i could have seen him being a major star in a prime time mystery-type show.
the show itelf was somewhat quaint when you think about the tumultuous political and cultural climate of the era.
