Back to the soap opera theme, thanks to writer George Tibbles. And what a time for Chip.
It's Polly's 18th birthday and Chip, the super guy he is, gets a necklace and a locket for her. End of story, right? WRONG... What makes this episode so funny and poignant is the "translation" part. Polly tells her mom, Margaret (Doris Singleton), and before you know it, the gifts are interpreted into some kind of a marriage proposal. OMG.
What's worse, Polly's stubborn dad, Tom (Norman Alden) ain't too happy about what's going on behind his back. Norman is so good in this part, and yes, back in the day, a lot of us kids were NOT fans of his.
You can't pass up this episode, a terrific story with a double meaning, and poor Chip taking a lot of heat for being a real nice guy. Nice guys finish last.
Interestingly, Ronne Troup, who is so sweet, actually turned 25 years old, though she looked a lot younger, and, in real life, was about to get married.
Applause to the cast here, top direction from veteran Fred De Cordova, who would soon be directing the TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson.
SEASON 11 EPISODE 4 remastered color.
