The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: Night Fever (1965)
Season 3, Episode 28
7/10
A bit overlong but worth seeing.
30 June 2021
A patient has been brought to the hospital but he's no ordinary guy. It seems he was shot by the police and he's been arrested for his part in shooting a cop. So, not surprisingly, the police are anxious to get the guy to talk...but doctors are anxious to keep him alive. Once he awakens, the suspected killer befriends his nurse (Colleen Dewhurst) and you can't help but think he's buttering her up in order to get her to help him escape.

This is generally a good episode but like too many before it, the one hour time slot was simply too long and the show was padded as a result...making it more talky than it should have been. Still, the ending is nice and the show worth seeing in this penultimate episode.
