"Late Date" is an absorbing Cornell Woolrich crime story featuring Larry Pennell as a carefree beach boy who arrives home one afternoon to find his beloved brother (Edward C. Platt from GET SMART) paying an unexpected visit, and the strangled corpse of his unfaithful sister-in-law lying on her bedroom floor. He refuses to allow his brother to confess to the police as he'd always known about her infidelity and offers to dispose of the body while Platt establishes an alibi back in the city. A phone call from the dead woman's lover gives him the opportunity to provide a frame-up, but first he has to contend with his brother's unsuspecting step-daughter (Jody Fair), her hep cat boyfriend (Steve Mitchell), a nosy neighbor (Ruth Warren), and a suspicious truck driver (Richard Reeves).
