Quotes
Self - Host: [introduction, Hitchcock is dressed as a bartender in a crowded, noisy bar. He attempts to speak to the camera several times but is drowned out by the very loud music from the TV set hanging above the bar counter. He tries to adjust the volume but only succeeds in making it even louder. The music finally stops and we only hear his last words] ... from our sponsor.

3/10

A mighty weak story with some ridiculous overacting.

This episode is simply and undeniably bad. First of all,it is a weak story. The attempt at suspense falls flat,because it is an empty gimmick. The story itself is not believable,plausible,or very likely. The star of the show is supposed to be 17 years old. He looks to be around 25 years old and behaves as if he's about 7 years old. If he'd behaved in real life 1959 anything like the way he did in this episode,he'd have been beaten to a pulp and tossed into the clink,quickly.

Somehow,his outrageous behavior is given a pass ? Baloney. A main plot point of this episode has something that is supposed to happen at 11pm. This point is mentioned over and over again in a weak attempt to build some suspense. When 11pm finally does come,the first thing that comes to mind is thank goodness it's almost over! This is a very poor episode of a usually much-better tv series. Skip it.
