It is interesting to see how many of the television episodes presented new versions of Woolrich novels and short stories that had been already released as feature films: "The Guilty," "I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes," "Nightmare," and "The Phantom Lady" for example. The first theatrical version of "Nightmare" was "Fear in the Night." It is doubly interesting to learn that Ella Raines appeared in "The Phantom Lady" twice (once for the cinemas and once for the boob tube).
Richard Basehart delivered a good performance in "The Black Curtain."
