This is one of the most nerve-wracking of Hitchcock episodes (maybe a tie with "A Lonely Place") as well as one of the best. Bill Mummy's performance is, of course, excellent. Seeing it made me wonder if the toy guns depicted here were ever typical of toys given to children in the USA. I remember plenty of toy guns during that era, none with actual bullets that could be loaded into a cylinder; the cap guns that looked real from a distance had cylinders that were just part of the metal casting and didn't move. If anyone has a bettor memory of toys from that era, a "trivia" entry on the subject would be interesting.
