A fine entry from a long-vanished era in television. Although I saw none of this series originally, as far as I can recall, but I'm pretty sure I never did, I nevertheless remember when it was on in the 60's, when, of course, I was only a child. I knew who Bob Hope was, definitely, saw his specials, etc., though I probably missed alot of those, too. So much was over my head still, even comedy, unless strictly on a kid-level. "Deadlock" has great suspense & Ms. Grant is at the peak of her beauty. She's totally convincing as an hours-only widow who holds a sweltering police-district office at gun & nitro point, awaiting the officer who, she insists, murdered her unarmed husband, criminal though he was, unbeknownst to her. There's much tension & is realistically played-out---for that period of time, the late-60s. The absence of a/c, computers, & cellphones seem laughably absent when viewed today but the era in which this was filmed must be taken into account. Personally, I wish these, mostly unrestored, Chrysler Theater episodes included the original intros & exit commentaries with Bob Hope but they don't. You'll note in the credits that the program's a "Ho-Vue Production", a combo of Hope & Revue Studios, where these episodes were shot. Revue rented out its studio facilities to numerous TV productions back then. This was Hope's baby, with Chrysler footing the bill for both Theater & his monthly comedy specials. All the Theater episodes were considered superior television, especially the dramas, when first-aired back in the 60's, something with which Hope wanted to be associated at that period in his career, & still hold up quite well today, social & technological changes aside, though some of the infrequent Theater comedies are a little over-the-top & hard-to-take, especially with the over-strong laugh-tracks. Also alot of fun to see the startling pool of acting talent that existed back then, both established performers & the rising-stars whom weren't yet well-known & now appear so young, as, of course, they were.
