Not too much of a surprise that James Bridges wrote this super episode, which has the look and feel of earlier show episodes and with some prime veteran actors you must see.
First and foremost is British born Richard Johnson, veteran of the Shakesperean stage, who plays your typical Hitchcock cad --who robs an wealthy old lady blind. But will he get away with his ill deeds, hmmm? Johnson is fun to watch, and a bit over the top, as a real heel and a very good actor, capable of fooling little old ladies. Johnson probably gained even more fame at this time as he had just married movie star Kim Novack. Their marriage did not last, but they remained friends for many years. At least there are some happy endings in Hollywood.
Look for the great Geraldine Fitzgerald in this one, who is onto Johnson's shady game. Fitzgerald at the time had co-starred in the classic movie THE PAWNBROKER. Rounding out the cast is veteran Fay Bainter. Her last film was THE CHILDRENS HOUR in 1962. Wait for the just desserts ENDING!
I do agree with the last reviewer that the ONLY debit here is that Bainter, who shoots herself, looks in pretty good condition for someone who just took a bullet!
Fitzgerald has a good closing line.... SEASON 3 EPISODE 24 CBS dvd box set.
