Another quite nice episode of our beloved Hitchcock's 'half hour' - and with a very competent cast (with first and best of all, of course, Joseph Cotten) that makes the age-old story of a married man being caught with his girlfriend, and his horror of any kind of publicity, seem rather fresh and intriguing - and entertaining, with some unusual twists in the real Hitchcock style...
First of all, the 'sinful' couple, Cotten and his girlfriend, are caught in the middle of the night on a lonely parking lot by a simple crook who wants to rob them, but then the tables are turned, and the crook ends up in the car's trunk - but what are they supposed to do with him now?? Well, the girlfriend's got an idea there; but it doesn't turn out the ideal solution after all - or does it...? Hitch himself will tell us in the end...
Nicely played and directed, solid TV crime entertainment; not one of the very best episodes of the series, but nevertheless worthwhile watching for friends of good old-fashioned crime drama with a touch of Hitchcock genius!
