Richard Carlson in rare villainous mode

Episode 63, "Kill My Love," offers genre veteran Richard Carlson a rare opportunity to play a villain and he is up to the challenge as philandering husband Guy Guthrie, who leaves a trail of murdered women behind until the truth is uncovered by his intelligent teenage son (David Kent), to whom he is completely devoted. Guy's insufferable ego proves to be his undoing, as he just isn't clever enough to avert suspicion, with a multitude of clues indicating his guilt. Carlson, who actually directed a previous entry (19 "Choose a Victim"), turns in a wonderfully edgy performance, while David Kent is quite believable as the son, whose suspicions change the relationship from one of devotion to one of survival. Patricia Breslin (William Castle's "Homicidal" and "I Saw What You Did") plays a sympathetic friend attracted to Guy, while the doomed wife is played by K. T. Stevens, previously seen in episode 21 "The Merriweather File."
