A jittery killer bursts into a "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" scenario - I was really expecting a twist with this episode but it just fizzled out as though no one really knew how to end it!!
A married couple, Eve and Jordan Ross, pass their days squabbling - from how burnt the toast is to does he really go to the office to work? The appearance of a wanted killer only intensifies their animosity especially when they realise he wants only one hostage, the other will be killed!! That could have been a pivotal scene with Eve implying that if she wasn't taken then Jordan had already decided to kill her anyway. The rest of the episode has them both vying for the privilege of being the chosen one until a frenzied moment on the stairs.....
Joan Tetzel was a noted stage actress but a Hitchcock heroine from her second film appearance in "The Paradine Case".
There are better episodes than this one.
