An interesting study in psychopathy, and well-portrayed by Mark Goddard, soon to be the young heart-throb in the "Lost In Space" series (1965-68). Mercifully, his molestation-murder of a young woman who happens along on the path of a scavenging threesome is not depicted. The atmosphere of this episode is dominated by the presence of Michael J. Pollard, who through the mid-sixties became famous for his stock in trade of rebellious hedonism that was taken as representative of the "free spirit" of the times (see also "Star Trek" and the "Bonnie & Clyde" film, both c.1967) and was supposed to be a symbol of cool. Here, in his usual slow way, in mocking and helping to subdue the doomed girl after she is injured, he dumbly follows the example of his chosen sociopathic role model rather than that of his upright older brother. The story pulled its punches in the end, only the "real" baddie getting his deserts but the hobgoblin little brother turning over a new leaf as reformed and lovable all too suddenly to be believable.
