Looking at this one is a reminder that in the right hands, fifties machine made half hour black and white filmed TV could hold attention and even provide a few resonant moments.
One of the earlier half hour NAKED CITYs, this episode has Franciscus and Mac Entire called in to take down cop killer Spencer, after he shelters in the Belvedere Tower castle-like weather station in Central Park. There's a surprisingly well written confrontation with the meteorologist, comparing their life styles.
The cast, camera, editing and direction (Beaudine was a sure handed pro, whose work only lacked ambition) are more than adequate.
