The main reason to view this otherwise routine episode is to get a load of Barara Cook's flaunted sexuality and gain, as reviewer Cine perceptively asserts, some insight into what that highly charged behavior implies. In fact, this 50's entry amounts to an unusual TV excursion into the touchy topic of sexual exploitation. As Barbara Hallem, Cook's every movement is that of a choreographed tease, from tight dress to swiveling hips to plunging neck-line, all aided and abetted by an appreciative camera as Cook piles it on. I expect this episode went about as far as any TV show of the time in titillating male viewers. She is, however, nothing more than a tease to which the derogatory slang of the time richly applies. More importantly, hers is not a sexuality of frankness; rather it's a sexuality of guile and manipulation. She appears incapable of an honest relationship. So when she's "punished" at episode's end, of course there is an element of male satisfaction. But if that satisfaction is reactionary, so are her capricious and abusive ways. And in that sense, the episode offers an interesting little glimpse into the mores of a time that in many respects are still with us.
Footnote: Unfortunately that fine actor Vic Morrow is almost totally wasted in a part that could have been filled by any one of dozens of lesser talents.
