This is one of the weakest Hitchcock episodes I've seen. The plot's something about Larry and Janice getting together, but then it isn't. Obnoxious actor Larry (Segal) forces his way into talent agent Janice's (Baxter) life. At first Janice is off-put by the guy's sheer chutzpah, but then without any transition she's madly in love. That might be okay if Larry showed any kind of winning personality; instead, he shows all the charm of a live hand grenade. This is the jovial Segal as I've never seen him. It's like he's trying to prove something, but goes overboard in the process. Not a single smile breaks through grimly pursed lips. The characterization is about as badly managed as any I've seen. Then there's Baxter, who's fine at first, but then goes into double over-emoting, which she can do in spades. Add a script that makes little sense, along with abundant flashbacks that don't add up, and the story's a mess. And that includes a conventional, non-ironic ending that's out of sync for the series as a whole. In short, the 60-minutes amounts to an uncharacteristic mess that suggests a backstory to the production. Anyway, I take no satisfaction in slamming the results. Still, there's some comfort knowing that even the best series has its misfires. Unfortunately, this is clearly one of Hitch's.
