Warning: Spoilers
This may be some people's idea of a great episode. I don't think so. Joseph Cotton as a cold-hearted businessman who callously fires one of his employees. Callew is then involved in a car accident which leaves him paralyzed. The story becomes increasingly morbid, as we have to listen to everything going through his mind. He can't speak and is so motionless, everyone assumes that he is dead. Cotton's character might have deserved this terrible fate, but the viewer didn't deserve to be punished, as well. There were better directions this story could have taken. This episode is dreary, morbid, and painful to watch.
