This story won Ellery Queen’s Mystery Murder Best First Story in 1962. Masterful acting by José Ferrer & Milo O’Shea. Plus an appearance by Julie Dawn Cole, Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
@@pixie3760 Usually when dramatized for TV, the thoughts are dubbed over. In theatre it's understandable, but when watching on TV it's just silly, and a bit patronizing to the audience. We can see his intentions, what's going on, and we can interpret his feelings as a result. We don't need the commentary.
It's amazing how tastes change. Almost all drama now is location based. These 1970's studio productions have their own distinct look- very much of the period. The sets and lighting etc seem a bit creaky to us now.
Yes, but still: how much of that is his initiative and how much is it the director's? Many a good actor has given a lousy performance because the director, in essence, said to do so. (Not taking sides so much as asking a question.)
An excellent sci/fi drama story thanks for uploading all these for us.

That was a twist I was not expecting, jolly good
Love this channel excellent series
It's certainly stood up more than Tales of the Unexpected and gave ATV 's Thriller a run for It's money.
FANTASTIC ❤
A Hitchcock twist? Well done. Tku for post.
How can he not be seen and heard? He's so loud and obvious?
It's his thoughts. In plays things are often in the abstract, rather than being literal.

Jose Ferrer as an Irishman? I didn't see that coming lol
And a very young 'Philip' Davis!
Did I miss the joke? He was Puerto Rican
@@rogerscottcathey Yes and a great actor but his Irish accent was a little bit off!
@darganx : Irish?! He had a scosh of natural New England, I heard not a tinge of that abominable brogue
@@rogerscottcathey Nah that was definitely Irish to my ears..
@@darganx : Don't know many from Erin evidently
Why'd they have to mic him so well when he was chewing? 😖😖😖

Ikr? So yuck 😂😂😂
Ikr? 😂

Dang. That is a hard joint to live in. Cops shoot you just for walking around.
"He failed to obey orders to stop and was coming straight toward me." Sounds like much of contemporary USA.
Some are based on Conan Doyle stories.
No, not based on. There are similarities but I think you'll find it's just the genre.
Jose Ferrer!
Jose Ferrer is excellent!
Cyrano de Bourbonac 😅
In a Catholic Church the priest cannot see you whilst you confess.
The obvious cue card reading Orson!
He still made the girls life a misery. This series is still a GOOD Show.
Anyone else notice how this series recycles Sherlock Holmes stories?
Interesting
no.
Similar plot lines, But I think that's where the similarities end.
@@pixie3760 Other than 'written by Arthur Conan Doyle'?
Overacting 101: taught by Mr. Ferrer M-W-F 1:30-3 pm.

Excellent point; he may have well been 'instructed' to do so....
Unfortunately (or not); the actor in question often takes the 'blame' for their performance quality....
