Trivia
The first shared credit of Leonard Nimoy and Ted Knight, although the two actors do not appear together on screen. Eight years later, Knight would join Nimoy and William Shatner with voice work in Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973) in the episode The Survivor (1973). Two years later, all three actors--Knight, Shatner and Nimoy--would be joined by Knight's male co-stars from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970)--Edward Asner and Gavin MacLeod--as all five would be among the myriad male TV stars in a dance number with Mitzi Gaynor for the CBS special Mitzi & 100 Guys (1975), and all five actors would seven years after that again be among the equally numbered celebrities for the first edition of Night of 100 Stars (1982).

Muy excellente

An aging scientist (Ayres) is developing a cobalt bomb and in the process neglects his much younger wife (Adams). She in turn takes up with her husband's best friend (Webber), who just happens to be a Soviet spy. Complications ensue. This is one of the very best Kraft episodes, with a heckuva good plot, courtesy of Larry Cohen, sharp direction by Tom Gries, and an outstanding cast. Ayres is smooth as silk as an obsessed egghead and Adams, in her other life a popular songstress, lends just the right amount of emotion to every one of her scenes. When push comes to shove and she has to decide between husband and lover, it is actually painful to watch her expression in closeup. Webber, one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, makes a truly sinister turncoat. Watch for a young Lenny Nimoy as a compassionate federal agent. A side note: Ayres, who had been acting since his youth and continued to act right up to his death, will always stay in my head and heart for one of his final roles. Well into his 70s or possibly early 80s, he played a doctor in a the second OMEN movie. When he grows wise to Damien, he goes to his death under thick lake ice. He is shown being swept along under the ice as people attempt to rescue him, in vain. The scene goes on for quite a bit,and is agonizing to watch. Ayres is absolutely amazing as he struggles t survive, and to to this day I wonder how they filmed his death scene and what they must have put him through to make it look so convincing.
