This episode featured Dick Powell—one of the four stars anchoring the show. A young Joanne Woodward stars as a young lady who is about to graduate from college. However, during her time in school, she never seemed to fit in—as she's rather aloof and bookish. You learn later that much of this is due to her being so lonely, as her family has all but abandoned her. However, when she meets Powell, they strike up a nice friendship
and Woodward is head-over-heels in love.
This is the best episode of the show that I have so far seen. Some of it is because it's so very well written—almost like an entire movie crammed (very nicely) into 25 minutes. Most of the reason it worked so well is because of the acting. Powell is very good but Woodward really stands out. While at the time she was not a star, soon the quality of her acting would be apparent in films such as "The Three Faces of Eve"—for which she won an Oscar. This TV appearance is terrific and you can see that even before "Eve", she was an amazingly good actress. In fact, if you get a chance, try to find her in some of her 1950s TV appearances—she was always captivating and brilliant.
