Yay for the Rear Window tie in! It’s one of my top 5 movies and now you’ve given me a whole new rabbit hole to go down over the holiday. A terrific episode. Thanks Kitty!!!
GREAT episode, I loved this one. Maybe I’m a little too dark, or maybe have seen too many SVU episodes, but the scene where they find her body, that line, “if he strangled her, where did all this blood come from?” and there’s kind of, you can feel in that moment of silence, the whole room reacting to that horror? My assumption was that they were implying she was, er, violated, and the additional tragedy of that was what everyone was responding to. But anyway, great ep!
Agree with JET, that all elements except the story were great. The story though… really lowers the entire thing. It has such big plot holes that only exist to fool the audience. The love scene at the end feels really tacked on. Almost a reflexive hetero-normative affirmation.
You mention off the top that Lucille Ball featured in ‘The Dark Corner’. That’s an underrated noir and she’s terrific in it, shades of her no nonsense character in this radio play.
