This episode, adapted from the short story by John Collier, is the second to have been previously done on the original SUSPENSE- in fact, it was the second show of the entire series, and starred the legendary Charles Laughton. Here, Daamen Krall fills in quite nicely as the patriarch of a respectable English family that may not be quite as respectable as it considers itself. This adaptation sticks close to the source material, which is full of characteristically dry English humor. The cast carries it all off neatly enough; standouts are Krall, Adrienne Wilkinson as the troublemaking daughter, and Daniel Hackman as a friendly policeman who unwittingly complicates matters.
