Janice (Martha Hyer), George (Niven) persona of Bart
This episode of "Four Star Playhouse" stars David Niven and while the story isn't exactly believable, it certainly is charming and entertaining. It begins with George (Niven) being run over by someone in a car. It appears to be deliberate but later, after leaving the hospital, George tells his friend what really happened. It all began some time ago. A charming, rich and pretty lady, Janice (Martha Hyer) sees George and thinks he's someone else--Bart, a rich Texas oil man. While he SHOULD tell her who he really is, Janice is charming and he soon finds himself falling for her. Eventually, however, it all leads to the car--and a sweet finale. As I said, it isn't really believable but it works well because Niven was a fine actor and the writing was really nice. So, like nearly all the episodes of the series, this one is excellent and worth seeing--which you can do by downloading it for free at archive.org.
