"You better have it fixed now!"
23 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
There are a lot of effusive reviews for this episode here on IMDb, all of which miss an important aspect of the story. While parked at the garage with the motor turned off, there's no way a tail light bulb would light up, the car would have to be running or at least have the ignition key turned on. All of this is missed in the tension filled story where our murderer Sam (David Wayne) can't escape the persistent motorcycle cop (Steve Brodie), who won't give up insisting the defective tail light get fixed RIGHT NOW! It's uncanny how director Hitchcock gets the viewer to side with Sam in his effort to make a clean get away with the corpse in his trunk. You would think we'd all know better, wouldn't you?
