In a way, this shouldn't be here. This was not a TV episode at all but a radio episode. On the radio, it tells a story of immense sadness, even horror. A man marries a European woman and they try to settle down in Los Angeles. The couple have a child, Nancy, only 2 years old. Mrs. Gorman is played by Peggy Maley, an actress in whom I take a special interest. Mrs. G falls hard for neighbor Ralph Kane. She leaves her husband for him and takes her small child. This puzzles detectives and the husband/father because she never cared for little Nancy. There is fear for the child's safety as Mrs. G lacks any protective instinct but takes her specifically because the husband "thought the world of her." Peggy Maley does a fine job of playing this perverse woman who puts her boyfriend over her child and becomes a true monster in the process. "The Big Love" is a study in the twisted.
