- Quotes
[introduction]
Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is standing locked in a stockade] Good evening. Methinks I should never have come to the colonies.
[opens hands briefly]
Alfred Hitchcock: Here I am, the producer's dream, a captive audience.
[camera moves in to a tighter shot of Hitchcock]
Alfred Hitchcock: Unfortunately, knowing the producer, I have already seen tonight's story several times. It is called, "One for the Road." They say there are two sides to every question, but tonight's little problem has three sides. For it is that age old bit of marital geometry, the eternal triangle.
- SoundtracksFuneral March of a Marionette
Written by Charles Gounod
Louise Platt plays the devoted wife, who would do anything for her husband, whilst Georgann Johnson is the attractive other woman, who naturally wants more - her second "tug of love" role in this series (see "Jonathan").
Charles is completely self-absorbed - he is not at all concerned with the feelings of either woman, and the fact that he provokes strong feelings in both (how strong we find out) is further evidence of his ability to deceive.
There are some great moments of suspense in this episode. The pace never lets up, and all three actors are excellent. Definitely worth a look.
