Wow...I just finished watching this episode on Hulu and was riveted to the screen mainly by Dean Stockwell's performance as a psychotic young man enamored with a young woman, Annabel..played by the lovely Susan Oliver. Apparently "David" (Dean's character) had a relationship with Annabel that ended a year ago according to her..yet David continues to have an obsessive love for her even after she married. We learn that David has a roommate in the city but ventures out to his late parent's lovely country estate every weekend where he has pictures of Annabel throughout his house. He is so obsessed by her that he badgers her with phone calls and eventually pays her a visit which was really creepy and set the tone of the rest of the play. Dean Stockwell's fresh faced performance of this psychotic young man is a classic! Seeing him so young in this performance is astounding in that I have seen him in many shows in his later years. He reminded me a bit of "James Dean" not only in appearance but in his brooding mood in this play.
A very well done episode of Hitchcock's hourly programs..I would consider this one of the best I've seen but I'm making my way through the different seasons on Hulu. I remember watching these shows many, many years ago and it's nice seeing these classic plays reemerging on great sites like Hulu! Check it out! It's riveting.
