Typical episode except the patient is an aging movie actor, bearing something of a resemblance to swashbuckler Errol Flynn. Real life actor Stevens does well in the paraplegic role, as do best friend Alderson and nurse Morrison. In fact, the series as a whole depends on quality performances since typical focus is on the human element. Good touch having Stan (Alderson) burst into the room in studio Indian make-up. The scene on the staircase is particularly well executed, and had me thinking 3-d for a moment. Episode goes through the various stages of rehabilitation, from bed-ridden to therapy to crutches. Thus, there's hope even for an ex-matinée idol. Nothing special here, just a good solid story.
