Tintoretto

In this episode widow Vera Miles and Roberta Shore come home from a trip to Chicago where they meet John Gavin a portrait painter with a nasty gambling habit who owes Michael Forest some big bucks. They invite him to Medicine Bow to paint Miles's picture.

As it turns out Lee J. Cobb is executor of the estate of Miles's husband and doesn't want to see her taken.

As it also turns out in her estate is a Tintoretto which could be big bucks and the answer to Gavin's financial predicament. But he's also falling for Miles.

The whole point of this episode is whether Gavin has any character. For that you watch the story.

Nice performance by Ann Doran as Vera's housekeeper and confidante. The kind of role Thelma Ritter might play.

Not Bad...But...

This is a sweet episode, but John Gavin's french accent is the worst! He and Vera Miles make a lovely pair, though, and it ends very nicely.
