Faded, forgotten actress Rose French is excited to have a new job, though she's playing coy about it to her friends. She suddenly dies of natural causes, but her ex-husband is not convinced. What was she doing sitting in a stranger's yard?
Of these first few episodes, this one is easily the best. For the first half hour we know something is off-kilter, but we don't know what exactly.
Of course, once we know what is going on, it is a little bit of a disappointment. But still, the story is interesting and the pacing is good. If the second half doesn't quite measure up, it's at least balanced by the very strong beginning.moreless

Notes
ADD NOTES- This episode's story is based on the 1952 novel by Margaret Millar. The Canadian-born Millar (1915-1994) wrote numerous mystery and suspense novels that were appreciated for their sophisticated characterizations and pioneering examinations of female psychology. In 1956, she won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel (Beast in View, which was adapted for an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents). Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Dalloway (in the garden where Rose died): It's so lonely here. You'd think no one was here. Frank: They probably keep this end of the house closed-up. Dalloway: Oh, no. She should never have died like this...not Rose. She should've been surrounded by people. Edit
- Annie: Rose, you've got company. Now, don't come out unless you're dressed. Rose (walking out from the bathroom): Why not? I've kept my figure! Edit
