This is an interesting episode wherein Agnes Moorehead hardly sounded like a young dubutante. She was already well beyond senior citizen status when this episode was recorded. Still, she played the role as convincingly as possible. I have to admit that I predicted that the old man's truth dictum would come back to haunt him in the end. The father was right to teach his daughter to tell the truth but he should not have been a hypocrite. All humans are fallible. Claims to the contrary will always cause trouble.

If Lorna had lied about her drunken fiance, his drinking would probably eventually cause harm to someone else. How ironic that the person who built a career upon the existential value of truth is found to have been the most hypocritical of all.
