THRILLER
Episode 10: SPELL OF EVIL
Written by Terence Feely
Story by Brian Clemens
Produced and directed by John Sichel
(tx date June 16, 1973)
When Tony Mansell's wife dies unexpectedly she is replaced unusually quickly by the mysterious Clara.
Geschäftsmann Tony Mansell trauert um seine Frau, die plötzlich und unerwartet verstorben ist. Schon bald stellt sich mit der geheimnisvollen Clara eine potentielle Nachfolgerin vor.
Ein weiterer Höhepunkt und ein würdiger Abschluß der ersten Saison. Strukturelle Parallelen zu Sign It Death sind nicht zu übersehen, wobei Spell durchgängig die weniger bodenständige Variante darstellt. Diane Cilento ist ähnlich dominant (und adäquat besetzt) wie Francesca Annis.
