A smoothly done formula episode of the series. And when the formula works this well why complain? The opening 15 minutes seem very routine and the lead character is unsympathetic and all the characters seem clichéd but this is all part of the plan in James Bridges good screenplay. I've not read the story it's from so don't know where all the twists and ideas come from but they work.
Wicked and clever are the words here to describe the appeal. The show is well produced and well tracked with Herrmann music from other episodes and there is one very effective shock well done by the usually overlooked director Leacock. Torin Thatcher isn't very convincing as a southerner but it's a supporting role so, oh well.
Amusing and very unpolitically correct opening Hitchcock bit with a blunderbuss.
