Dorothy Stickney is the usually prim, lonely spinster in this peek at the underbelly of city living. Justus Addiss directs this Marian Cockrell teleplay of a somewhat grisly Roy Vickers story. I suspect the original story was more gruesome than the censors allowed on TV. I'm glad this was in black-and-white--I'm the squeamish type. I wonder if this was when Hitchcock started to think about doing something like "Psycho"? Nice photography direction by Lionel Lindon.Oh yeah, about cat care: if you have an "inside" cat, keep it safely inside, away from cat and rat diseases, and possible falls, and dangerous traffic and nut jobs. And if YOU'RE a serious nut job, don't be responsible for a pet. And especially if you live in a creepy apartment building, don't sleep with the window unlocked or open.

did windows screens not exist back in the day? and what about simply closing the window? is that an absolutely preposterous idea? when there's a potential cat murderer around, can't one sacrifice a nice breeze?poor stanley!
