Since no one has mentioned Louise Fletcher in this classic "Wagon Train" episode,I will. Seeing her performance here,some 15 years before her Oscar winning performance in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", I could see a little of her cold,callous acting ability. It may be even more shocking coming from her younger and in my opinion,very beautiful self. The other reviews covered how this is an homage to Dickens's "Great Expectations" so I won't retell that...but to do in about 55 minutes is a credit to the great writers and performers in this series. A favorite.
