Mr. & Mrs. North: Till Death Do Us Part (1952)
Season 1, Episode 2
2/10
Murder by doll.
13 January 2007
It's Mr. and Mrs. North's 5th anniversary, and they are dressing for an elegant evening of romance to celebrate. The doorbell rings. Mrs. North answers to find no one there; only a small package. She opens the package to find two dolls dressed as bride and groom... but the bride has a knife in her back! This is the best part of a rather silly episode, in which Mr. North at one point tells an intruder, "Don't move, or I'll shoot!" But he has no gun, and his hands have been in plain view of the intruder for some time. This series was based on a very good radio program of the same name, which was based on the series of books by Richard and Frances Lockridge. Beware the TV Guide/Genius Entertainment DVD of the show; they replace the main title music with cheesy, newly recorded music that doesn't match the title sequence at all. Only for die-hard fans of the novels, the radio show, or classic TV in general.
