Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Man from the South (1960)
The BEST Alfred Hitchcock episode ever (IMHO)
I just watched this (my favorite) episode again so it is all fresh on my mind. Optimum cast combination for this suspenseful little play. Despite the negative review given previously concerning Neile Adams acting, personally I thought she was just fine. You have to bear in mind the style of acting back then tended to be melodramatic. Perhaps she was just too gorgeous (not "odd looking") for me to notice any flaws. The chemistry between she and McQueen is real. Contrary to what another reviewer felt, I thought the ending was very tight. Spoiler in response to the previous reviewer: McQueen lights the lighter successfully seven times before being interrupted; then when trying to light the girl's cigarette (what would have been the eighth try) the lighter fails.
