Henry Slesar, a Hitchcock favorite, wrote this classic episode for noneother than Spring Byington. Spring was the "Betty White" of early tv, as she was everywhere, a certified star of both movies and tv (DECEMBER BRIDE). She actually had to slow down in later years due to so many tv offers.
Spring plays Alice, who lives with her daughter and son in law and gets herself mugged! She's ok, but what follows is cause for alarm as it appears her son in law has a mug shot! Say it isn't so!
Watch all this unfold, and with a great role as a detective by Steve Dunne, another Hitchcock regular, who was a movie and tv vet. Steve was also a popular Hollywood DJ and announcer.
This is one you just have to see through for the likes of Spring Byington, a natural if there ever was one.
She was nominated for an Oscar in YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. She should have won. At the time Spring guest starred in PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES.
