I watched this following another episode of Alfed Hitchcock Presents, THE CHENEY VASE, which is infinitely superior in writing and acting.
The double cross ending of this little horror is at least enjoyable in its pay back for the evil plotter.
Acting of both DeWilde and Kert are pretty deplorable. Hard to believe Kert originated the role of Tony on Broadway with WEST SIDE STORY and took over from Dean Jones for most of the original run of Sondheim's COMPANY. DeWilde was a cute little boy, but as a young adult he was often either bland or downright bad, as he is here. Diana Dors is merely acceptable. With better actors this might have been really interesting.
For me, however, as it is exists, it's practically unwatchable.
