Self - Host: The moral of this story is that fishing is poor in the state penitentiary, a fact which Gladys, Floyd and Nyla subsequently learned. And now for another moral, after which you shall find me still on the job.

Featured review
A prime example of Hitchcock's sense of humor.
This is a fun story, certainly ahead of its time, all about "mature" lady of means Vivienne Segal landing herself a very young husband, well played by Robert Horton. Problem is young and scantily dressed Anne Francis, the neighborly competition.
The three actors work quite well together and its an interesting cat and mouse story. Of course, the nagging question: How do you get rid of the old lady? Wait and see. Also listen to the moody music, which sets the right tone in spots. Many of the best Hitchcock episodes owed their success to background music.
Segal made several appearances on the show, who at the time, was married to a CBS network executive. She was originally a Broadway actress and singer, making her film debut in the 1930s.
For car buffs, you have to love that classic 1959 Lincoln convertible. A beautiful machine and worth a lot of money today, if you can get your hands on one.
Wait for the classic ending. It's a hoot, and catch the dialogue.
Recommended for Hitch buffs, which we all are. SEASON 5 remastered Universal dvd box set. 5 dvd set. Episodes like this is what makes the box set a must.
