The 1960's and 1970's were great decades for showing fortunate TV viewers some of the most beautiful and talented young actresses anyone could imagine! And among that impressive group, Linda Marsh was one of the very best, with superb acting skills. She's so good! It's a joy to watch her on screen. She really makes you believe the characters she plays are real people, and she does that here.
Perhaps because Linda is so good, Lee gives us an exceptionally sensitive performance also. It often works that way; when a star like Lee, in a series, gets a really fine actor or actress to work with, they raise their own game.
So for me, the romance in this episode was poignant and very effective. We get more than enough chances to see Steve Austin battle robots, etc.; it's refreshing to see an emphasis on his feelings, his inner self. He always does show us what a fine human being he is, and here it's really personal. I liked this episode a lot!
Oh, and Joseph Ruskin and Jeff Corey, who are the top bad guy and a scientist, are both fine actors also; always reliably good.
