It's fun to see Redford before he always had to be the hero but he doesn't bring too much to this performance, nor does Barry Morse--using the same "What planet are you from?" accent he also used in other foreign performances. I usually like Morse but he's kind of boring here. To be more specific Redford is OK here but the whole episode is weak compared to his other Hitchcock Hour episode titled, A Piece of the Action which serves him much better and is just terrific.
Zohra however does a very good french accent and has just the right blend of awkward and pretty for the part. She's good as always and unpredictable in every scene that she's in.
A fair amount happens in this episode but it still feels a little overlong and episodic. There is some obvious stunt-doubling in one fight scene. The best scene is a series of increasingly close close- ups of Morse during one otherwise kind of predictable plot-twist moment.
Yeah good elements here with two mediocre performances from good actors make this slightly below average for show. Hitchcock has a funny wraparound bit tied to the ground like in Gulliver's Travels.
