The besotted boy thinks she is being murdered for real, and wants to kill the magician - which gives the wife an idea, since she is wanting to elope with one of the other performers (Larry Kert). ![]() ![]() Stewart makes a fair fist of playing the magician in a travelling show, taking-in a starving and mentally-deficient runaway from a boys' home (Brandon deWilde), and allowing him to watch the act where his glamorous wife (Diana Dors) gets sawn in half, in the time-honoured way. But the other 24 minutes you might as well miss. It is the ending alone that seems to have caused this episode to be named so often as the best of the whole series, all seven years of it.

Thanks to imdb pals Daryl and Timshelboy for leading me further into neglected hollywood classics and the more outre international choice items. Into English and international movies as well as those Italian, French, American and others.then there's books, music and everything else. Commenting here on all kinds of movies from art-house (I am an Antonioni kind of guy) to sword-and-sandal, re-living the 50s and 60s and 70s and going back to the 30s and 40s - but mainly loving the late '50s and early '60s. I started going to the movies aged 8 in Ireland in 1954, and moved to London in 1964, when 18, just in time for Swinging London. Just retired, writing memoir and movie reviews and star profiles on imdb. ![]()
