On two separate occasions, I couldn't watch this episode to the end as it was just too boring, although it has an interestingly off-kilter non-Hitchcock feel. Jeanette Nolan is initially compelling, especially when talking through an elaborate bug proof covering obscuring her face, causing the viewer to concentrate even more on her compellingly incisive, commanding, vaguely malevolent voice. I almost thought she would be deformed or scarred, but when her face is revealed she is neither. Nolan was an amazing chameleon of an actress. She seemed to look and sound different in everything in which she ever appeared. But she can't make it as interesting an episode as it needs to be.
