They really did a fine job of adapting the Margaret Millar novel that was much heavier in details, some that obviously could not be brought to TV (or even movies of the era) - a visit to a brothel, Helen's brother in a relationship with the photographer, etc. The Dorothy Johnson character was named something else and a different ending . . .well, I don't want to spoil the book if you haven't read it.

I loved the late Miss Hackett, a beautiful and intelligent actress.

Thanks for posting.

They do show them on the Chiller network but you have to have cable to see them.

Try watching this episode alone,late at night ,in a house that makes sounds. A great one.

I sure wish some channel where I live would show good tv like this instead of the modern garbage they run in the gorund. You can't go wrong with Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
