"Thou Still Unravished Bride" is the third bad episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" in a row...evidence that perhaps the show had run out of good scripts and they were using previously rejected ones. This is the only way I can understand why they bothered making such a weak show.
Sally (Sally Kellerman) is about to get married but is having second thoughts. So, she decides to walk the streets of London late at night...even though there has been a spate of recent murders of women by some serial killer! Now that really makes sense, doesn't it? But there are a couple other things that conspire to make this a very weak episode. First, there are three characters who are just plain weird....and in your lifetime you'd never meet more than one like any of these three. Elliott, Edward and the shopkeeper's son all vie for the title of "Most Obviously Demented" in the show. Second, the show has barely enough material for a half hour episode, so to pad it (heavily) the characters mostly sit around an apartment talking and talking and talking about what may or may have happened to Sally! Overall, an incredibly bad episode....which is sad because the show could be very good.
