"Memo from Purgatory" is a decent episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" but it's most notable for its cast. It features some future big stars, such as James Caan and Walter Koenig (Chekov from "Star Trek")...as well as familiar character actors, Tony Musante, Zalman King and Lynn Loring. For this reason alone it is worth seeing.
Hemingway said, "A man should never write what he doesn't know." In the mid-fifties, Harlan Ellison--kicked out of college and hungry to write--went to New York to start his writing career.
