These old tv movies of the week were great. I use to watch most of them. Thereare better than any garbage on network tv today. this one is just a great thriller.

I just love Eve Arden. My mom told me about when I met her, sort of. I was 1 or 2 and Ms. Arden was in the same supermarket as my mom. She stopped my mom and told her what a beautiful baby I was. My big claim to fame. There she was, this movie star, and she chose to tell my mom that she had a beautiful baby for no apparent reason. Later she did a show called "The Mothers In Law" and my mom and I would watch it. It was a very funny show in its day. When I see Ms Arden, I always feel warm and happy. She had a warmth on film and apparently in person too.

@@margaretlawrence3385 I do believe you had the best of intentions; but, some people think all babies are cute or maybe she was just being nice. I cannot say if I was a cute kid. Be honest, have you ever seen an ugly baby and told the parent the kid was cute? I have never thought I was good looking, I think my looks are pretty average. When people ask me what I look for in a woman, I always say the same answer, "poor eyesight". I don't understand beauty. I was invited to a beauty contest in Las Vegas (along with about 200 other people) and we got to meet all the contestants. I was about 47 at the time. I was given a free room and free food at the contest. We were asked to vote on which of these amazingly pretty young ladies was the prettiest. I found it ridiculous to ask middle aged men like me to judge these women based on the concept of looks. I understand nice and Ms Arden was nice to my mother who she didn't even know. This would have been in about 1962. Ms Arden was a movie star and she took the time to say something nice to my mother, about 25 years old dragging three kids around a supermarket. It made my moms day and I have always appreciated her kindness to my mother. I remember it everytime Ms Arden is playing on television. I apologize if I upset or offended, not my intention.

Eve Arden was Priceless !.. what a Treasure ! All these other Great Stars !!

This was great. I loved Eve Arden.

Ms. Eve Arden played Our Miss Brooks on the radio from 1948 thru 1957. The show was adapted to television 1952 thru 1956. She played a great wisecracking sidekick. Always added to any movie she was in. Pat Morita playing one of the hippies. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV 8/26/18

That was a much more entertaining movie than I thought it would be. James Gregory was hilarious, and Eve Arden was very good. A nice, light-hearted movie. Thank you!

Wow Ray Danton ! love everything he every starred in he became one of my faves when I saw the Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond one of my Favorite Movies . Thanks for the Share

It's great to see another performance by Eve Arden! This ala "Columbo," Movie of the Week, was a pilot, for a potential weekly TV series, for the 1953 Emmy Award winner for "Our Miss Brooks" star, herself, Eve Arden!

Mystery novelist Stuart Palmer's schoolteacher sleuth Hildegarde Withers was first portrayed by Edna May Oliver in a 1930s film series. This was a nice attempt to resurrect the character and it was a shame that no other entries followed.

I always liked Ray Danton. And Eve Arden is a great favorite.

Eve Arden, born Eunice Mary Quedens, when cast in 1934 Ziegfeld Follies revue was told to change her name for the show. She looked at her cosmetics and "stole my first name from Evening in Paris and the second from Elizabeth Arden". 👍 She performed in so many diverse leading and supporting roles on radio & stage, and in movies & television for nearly six decades.

The only thing I dont like about some of these older movies is the happy gig style music in the opening, it doesn't fit with mystery crime dramas and unfortunately this was the case with many crime dramas and even some horror movies of the time.

That line about Lizzie Borden and the closed drug store made me chuckle. Thanks for sharing this movie, I've never seen it. I'm currently catching up on a bunch of 1970's TV movies and such. They originally aired when I was too young to watch them.

Hollywood's representation of the counterculture of the late 60s and early 70s was about as far from the actual scene as one could get, but Eve as usual hoists the dialogue.
