I can't believe how annoying Anne Baxter was in this episode. More than once I told her to shut up out loud--in a room by myself, nonetheless. I've actually been finding myself increasingly annoyed by the perpetually frightened, jumpy, fragile female archetype in many of these episodes. I loved Hitchcock when I was a kid, but as an adult I'm realizing how stereotypically some of these women are played. I now watch looking for the stronger female characters in these episodes and find myself so pleased when I find them. Hitchcock's creations are brilliant, but some of these actresses chew so much scenery that it gives *me* indigestion. It's like "ho, sit down" 85% of the time. On the upside, a bright spot in this episode is George Segal's controlled, mature delivery. I've discovered that the men who starred in the Hitchcock series aren't above overacting, either.

I never see a Hitchcock ending coming, but I am not surprised when I see it. In "A Nice Touch" I never saw the ending coming and I still don't get it. I don't understand why the episode was ended the way it was. All the others I've see have a reason to the ending, I didn't see a reason to this ending.
