Edit
This episode was almost impossible to get into - the casting was so strange, it was completely distracting. Ann Todd - born 1-24-1909 - plays the daughter of John McIntire - born 6-27-1907. That's right - he had a child when he was only 19 months old!! That must be in the Guinness record book! As if that wasn't weird enough, she has a British accent, and he has an American one. That could have been explained by a family move to England from the States when she was a baby, but nothing like that was mentioned. The actor playing her ex-husband has only one facial expression - "grinning monkey". Who cast these people?? The plot isn't much to speak of either. Skip this one.
