Run, Rabbit, Run

This is a fantastic episode of tales of the unexpected, I was literally left shaken at the end of it as it was one of the first episodes I have seen.

There is a very good grim, dark twist at the end. I won't give away too much but if you enjoy a glass of red wine this is definitely for you. Enjoy!

It appears from the other reviews you will either love it or hate it! Make your own mind up ;)

Another kind of story which is told here, another unexpected kind of drama, very moving, dark, bleak, painful to watch in terms of emotion. Very rare indeed in the show, and I am great satisfied that this series doesn't always show the same cosy plots, comfortable and cheesy thrillers with good twist endings. Here, you deal with another category, nearly something new in the show tone. That's my point of view. Told in flashback, it has the powerful impact of a long length feature, as BETRAYED, 1954. I highly recommend it, a really unavoidable plot. A lesson of history showing a French tale. Watch it.

I think this is the most underrated episode of tales of the unexpected, fantastic acting brilliant story and delivers the most nostalgic scenery

Did 'poolandews' do his research before posting his drivel? Leslie Caron is French and was born in Boulogne-sur-Seine, so why insult her with his ill informed nonsense. He may have not liked this episode but please get your facts right.

Leslie Caron plays an overworked housewife who is locked in a toxic relationship with her tyrranical husband.

Now this is a very old drama and it is a bit cardboardy set wise. I guess the budget went on Leslie Caron. My beef is not with her genuine French accent, but with her terrible wig.

I'm sure better rugs existed in 1982.

It turns out her husband was even worse than we suspected and was both a collaborateur and double agent.

Of course justice was served on him, and since then he has both a heart condition and a penchant for controlling his wife.

I loved the whole thing as it was both terrifically cheesy and like a rather good stage play.

My favourite bits : Caron repeating 'Run Rabbit run...' as Run, 'rabbits' Run. So cute!

I don't know why people slate these nice bits of period drama, personally I find them interesting and nostalgic because of the actors.
