ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR SEASON 3 SERIES
All in all, however, I wish the series had gone out in a more memorable way.#6 - Water's Edge Season 3 - Episode 3 - Aired Also, the sheriff is Tom Drake who most famously romanced Judy Garland in the legendary Meet Me in St. It's odd seeing it without the sinister lighting. Of course, the motel is the Bates Motel of Psycho (1960) fame. My guess is ace writer Bloch couldn't do much in adapting the slender material. Then too, there's little suspense as we more or less follow Johnny around in routine fashion.
The climax is overdone camera-wise as though this will provide more punch. To me this is a weaker episode and I'm not surprised it was held back to end the season and the series. Complicating things is former deputy Milt (Jaeckel) who resents Johnny for taking his job, and is now making passes at Johnny's girl.
His girl (Arthur) sort of tags along, though their relationship is never made clear. So after losing his first cop job for killing a pathetic wino, he signs on with a resort area sheriff's squad, where he's fortunately unarmed. Giving him a badge makes him a menace to the public. He's a violence prone personality without much shading. Trouble is there's not enough ambiguity to Johnny's (Gavin) character to make the 60-minutes that interesting. Reviewer Telegonus is right-the episode is unusually character driven, minus typical Hitchcock plot.
