- TriviaThis episode has an all-male cast.
- GoofsThe white powder used to represent snow does not melt. In the car, it remains on the actors' clothing with no sign of wetness. When they enter the monastery, there is less powder, but it still remains, appearing dry. Even though the father observes that their coats are wet, there is no sign of wetness and they appear totally dry.

Himself - Host: Good evening and thank you for allowing me to come into your living rooms. Well, I'm not easily shocked, but I did expect people to dress a bit more formally before sitting in front of their sets. Now that two-way television is here.
[sounds of a lion roaring and a woman screaming]
Himself - Host: Apparently, not everyone was aware of the incessant march of progress. The next improvement should be more to your liking. I understand that scientists will soon make it possible for any object thrown at the television screen to actually hit the performer. All of which reminds me of a story.

Written by Charles Gounod
Interestingly, this is one of the few episodes to have an all male cast. Prolific actor Everett Sloane returns to the series, playing insightful Father Vicente, who runs a remote monestary and has a strange, new guest.
Mark Damon, in his only appearance, portrays a bitter young man called Clements, who has traced another man he absolutely despises to the monestary. He is seeking revenge, and basically asks Father Vicente to look the other way so he can settle an old score.
Not an easy request, and as you would expect. Watch what happens. Terrific acting.
Damon is very good in this role, of course, a hero to horror film buffs, known for the HOUSE OF USHER (1960), opposite Vincent Price, and BLACK SABBATH (1964), starring Boris Karloff. Everett Sloane shines here and certainly steals the show. Look for Claude Akins, in an early role, playing a cop.
Truly, an original story that will hold your attention and keep you guessing, always Hitch's intention. SEASON 1 EPISODE 22 remastered Universal dvd box set No. 1.
