"The Prowler" is the fourth television play episode of the first season of the Australian anthology television series Australian Playhouse.[1][2][3] "The Prowler" was written by Pat Flower and directed by Alan Burke and originally aired on ABC on 9 May 1966.[4]

Plot

A man, tired of hearing about his wife's dead first husband, decides to resurrect the man when rumours about a prowler begin to circulate.[5]

Cast

  • Gwen Plumb as Elsie Hopewell
  • Stewart Ginn as her husband Fred
  • Judith Champ as Jean Thurston
  • Roger Box as Morgan Thurston
  • Anthony Thurbon as detective

Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald critic called it "negligible and easily puffed up to pass half an hour at a fairly slow pace; but it was quite entertainingly watchable thanks to Miss Flower's clever way with turns of phrase true to suburban bickering" and some "beautifully relaxed and subtle comedy-acting of Stewart Ginn and Gwen Plumb."[6]

The Sunday The Sydney Morning Herald critic, who thought Flower's "The Tape Recorder" was "brilliant" called "The Prowler" "a miss".[7]

The Age said "the play was well acted and well produced; but it did not add up to anything. It felt as though I had been reading a novel and skipping page after page just to get to the story only to find that it had not been worth the trouble."[8]
