See it because of Elizabeth Montgomery

This is a tour de force performance by Elizabeth Montgomery. She is terrific. More so because the standard tv series format at the time did not really allow for it. Particularly during the pilot season of the series.

I won't try to explain the episode, hopefully the plot synopsis will do that. However, it pitches the main spotlight away from Nick Adams to Barbara Rush. She takes the opportunity very well, but then has to concede power to Montgomery. Despite the performances of the above, plus a brief contribution by Ed Nelson, this episode is only average. It suffers from time rigidity which impacts so many episode conclusions.

However this is well worth your time, not least to see Montgomery's incredibly stimulating backward handstand..
