Season 4, Episode 35
7/10
One of Douglas' final appearances
4 April 2021
While he was far from handsome, during the 1950s, Paul Douglas was a very successful actor and he made quite a few wonderful film and TV appearances. Sadly, he died at only age 52...putting an end to a long streak of excellent work. "Touché" is one of his final roles.

Bill (Douglas) is on a fishing trip where he meets a young guy (Robert Morse) Bill talks about his awful marriage. Apparently, his wife is constantly unfaithful and flaunts her boyfriends in front of Bill. So the guy suggests Bill challenge the guy to a duel, because he insists California law is very lax in cases like this. Oddly, Bill does exactly this...challenging the latest lover to a duel. What's next? See the show.

This is a good episode with an interesting (though somewhat predictable) twist. Fun to watch...and you can't help but feel a bit sorry for poor old Bill.
