Or do you think if he had been able to declare his feelings for her would she have responded in kind and they end up happily ever after? I like happy endings.If that couldn't happen since Deery was a "bad man" and with standards and procedures they had to make sure Deery wasn't rewarded for his past deeds I'm at least glad there was Hitchcock'epilogue remark about Connie inferring that she didn't get away with it in the end. I would have liked to watch how that proceeded to happen since I like to watch something get completely resolved as opposed to just being told after the fact.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237633334233985001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-76284403788103842812019-02-07T14:31:39.182-08:002019-02-07T14:31:39.182-08:00Thanks.

I felt for him, for his character, for what he was going through, for the entirety of the episode. Kiley communicated so much, while doing actually very little; on the surface, I mean. To my way of thinking he lifted Blood Bargain to a whole new level. Richard Kiley took a not very likable, indeed, given his line of work, contemptible character, and made him feel like a living, feeling human being, just like the rest of us.john kenrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710666533854296630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-57787397386984828672014-11-30T06:46:51.544-08:002014-11-30T06:46:51.544-08:00I agree with you, Peter.

This is Slesar's best hour to date, in large part due to the quality of the acting.Jack Seabrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216640325305820140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-91846998950564005802014-11-30T05:36:42.201-08:002014-11-30T05:36:42.201-08:00This was a winner in my book.

The last series of shots we see, of Connie Breech getting away with murder and Jim Derry realizing he's been had, are gems.

When I think "Peter Brocco," I picture a shot from an episode of Thriller where he is the captain of a ship steering a big wheel, and I think of an Odd Couple episode where he and another old man (played by John Qualen) had a giant ball of silver foil! Thanks for reading, and especially for your comments. Many people read these posts but few comment, so I am always excited to see a comment!Jack Seabrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216640325305820140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-69183854167917124722014-11-28T18:22:45.163-08:002014-11-28T18:22:45.163-08:00This might be the only episode of the HOUR show I&...This might be the only episode of the HOUR show I've never seen (at least, it doesn't ring a bell).<br /><br />It's kind of gratifying to know character actors well enough that you can think the name "Peter Brocco" just by seeing the photo instead of the caption, which is what happened to me just now.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.com
