This is an odd episode of "The Veil" because everyone in the show except for the two leads talks with thick Italian accents. However, the two doctors are supposed to be Italian--so why no accent? The show begins with Dr. Angelo Marcabient returning home to his small town. He is a very proficient doctor in the big city and his father, Carlo (Boris Karloff) is a small-town doctor--and a very tired one. Carlo is old and his patients keep him VERY busy. Angelo hopes to get his father to retire and come back to the city with him--Carlo will have none of that. Soon after this discussion, Carlo is called away to deal with a patient. Soon after, someone comes looking for Carlo as there is an emergency, so Angelo goes in his place. What happens next is one of those supposedly real (it ain't) cases of the supernatural.
Apart from the missing accents, this was an intriguing and well made show. Like other episodes I've seen from the series, Karloff not only narrated but was one of the principal players in the episode.
