The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: Final Performance (1965)
Season 3, Episode 14
Typical Robert Bloch
17 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Bloch does seem to get in a rut. Remote motel/hotel, weird innkeeper. Woman in peril.

This started out somewhat cartoonish, and does indeed, get creepy. The limited supporting cast, and the filming location, leave a lot to be desired. It is reminiscent of some lame 80s horror flick.

OK, the ending...is she dead, or paralyzed? A spinal injury? Yes, the second "Cliff" walks into the barn the final time, it is obvious what's going on.

Somewhat sad to see Tone in a role like this. He would act in a few more projects, before dying in 1968.

Perry is perfectly cast in the lead - he's probably the only reason I'd ever suggest that somebody watch this episode.
