   knew nothing about it, but it was an anthology show that Bette Davis appeared   
   on more than once. The one I watched was called Split Second, an eerie   
   psychological story from a    
   Daphne du Murier short story about a woman (Davis) who takes her young   
   daughter to the bus stop one morning and then returns home only to find that   
   it's been turned into a boarding house with a set of complete strangers living   
   in the different rooms,    
   including a photographer of children and her husband. She confronts them, the   
   cops are called, and escalating weirdness develops. All Bette Davis wants is   
   to have her home, her daughter, and her housekeeper back--in that order. (The   
   house is more than a    
   house--it has Jungian symbolic overtones of the 'self'.) But it isn't that   
   simple.

   audience for this kind of material in the late '50s. Shows about the   
   inexplicable are rare (and, of course, Hollywood being Hollywood is DOES get   
   explained at the end, though the    
   explanation doesn't fully answer everything). Shows about the inexplicable   
   done well are even rarer. That's what made this fairly enjoyable, if somewhat   
   creaky.

   great, Bette Davis quite good. Script gets repetitious--they had to stretch to   
   fill the hour, I assume. But still enjoyable for its love of story, plot, and   
   suspense.
