Yes, several times but Della turns him down. Not because she doesn't love him but because she doesn't want to be just a housewife. Do to society at the time Perry Mason was written, a wife was EXPECTED to stay home, run the household and raise kids, nothing more. Della liked her life as Perry's private secretary and constant companion.. Della's answers to the proposals are usually something like "we're happy now, You don't need a wife and I don't want you getting a new secretary."
It was the 1987 made-for-TV movie, Perry Mason: The Case of the Sinister Spirit.
Paul Drake was Perry Mason's private detective.
No. Perry Mason, the fictional defense attorney of the the Erle Stanley Gardener novels and television series of the same name, is a man.
Raymond Burr
I think he was in the Case of the Final Fade Out
Yes, Perry Mason was originally a character in a series of detective novels written by Erle Stanley Gardner before being adapted for television. The first novel featuring Perry Mason was published in 1933.
Raymond Burr did not use a wheelchair in "Perry Mason". He used a wheelchair in the series "Ironsides" which aired in September 1967. CORRECTION: In the Perry Mason TV show, he did not use a wheelchair. HOWEVER, he did appear in a wheelchair in the Perry Mason TV movies. In fact, in the very last one he filmed, "The Case of the Killer Kiss" he only stood one time. These tv movies were filmed between 1985 and 1993. I remember watching those movies as a kid and he was in a wheelchair in many of them, but when he first appeared in a wheelchair in the Perry Mason Movies, I do not know.
Perry Mason was a long running television show on CBS in the 1950's and 1960's. DVD's of the television show are available from several retailers including Amazon, eBay, Shop PBS, and Walmart.
