  3. I really enjoyed this for the acting, storyline, fashions, and general "look". But I could sure do without all the paternalistic male attitude going on. Thank God I'm young enough that I didn't have to live with that so overtly, like my mom surely did in her generation. That's just how it was.

  9. Thanks for uploading this!! I wonder if you have the other episode with Gena Rowlands?? It's from the second season and it's called "Won't it ever be morning?"

  11. Interesting that they gave Ida Lupino lots of lines, because she's a talker rather than an emoter — and Gena Rowlands few lines, because she expresses everything so well with her face.

  18. They were all wonderful ida lupino should have been as big as Davis or Crawford gena rowlands superb actress beautiful woman overshadowed by her multi talented and brilliant husband she was mrs cassavetes he came first

  40. I was born in 61 land I remember the late 60's and 70's. My family was not rich — blue collar. But we had a house sitting on a piece of land 75 feet wide. Even though we were not rich, my mom made sure we (my brother and myself) were dressed well. She knew how to sew and she was a great seamstress. She made a lot of my dad's dress shirts; my brothers shirts and all of my dresses as well as her own. Suits for women were very popular. She would wear either a princess line, slim dress with a 3/4 sleeve, short waisted jacket, or what was called a shirt dress; or a skirt with a cap sleeved top tucked in and some type of jacket over it. My Dad always wore a dress shirt, tie and pleated slacks. He also always wore a fedora hat; and of course the wing tips! He sported what was called a thin, French line mustache. His thick, wavy hair was always well combed. My mother Kept the house spotless and we always had a home cooked meal. When my Dad and Mom dated, back in the early 50's, she said my Dad always picked her up wearing a pleated slacks, dress shirt, tie and suit jacket and — yes — the wing tips! She said it did not matter how poor you were, you managed to have at least a couple really, well made suits — that went for men and women. I had a lot of Uncles and Aunts and they all dressed like my parents. And of course your absolute best was worn for church. Every year for Christmas you wore a brand new outfit made for the holidays. All my Aunts sewed, so all of us cousins had beautiful hand-made 'outfits'. Life was so different back then and I miss it. At 60, I have a lot of years to compare my childhood to, and I have only seen things getting worse. So sad. I love watching these old shows because they actually feel familiar to me — like an old friend. Thanks to all the people who go through all the trouble of putting this stuff on the net.

  41. The first time I ever watched Ida in such an awful part! Her acting (what was allowed of it) was still perfection along with Gene and Mr. Nielson!!! All with great acting and or Direction skills just too bad it was thrown together to fill a ":Time Slot"! Imagine what was left on the cutting room floor! Always and 3 days an Ida fan!!!!

  44. As of 2021, Gena Rowlands is the sole surviving cast member, I believe. She also performed in numerous “CBS Radio Mystery Theater” episodes, 1974-1982.
