Lonely Place was unbearable

Unbearable is the only word to describe it. I couldn't take it. I felt so sorry for Teresa Wright's character Stella. As she suffered the whole epsisode, I suffered. Teresa Wright's husband Emery in the episode, played by Pat Buttram was such an a******. He was a cheap ass too. He wanted some cheap labor on his farm, so he hires a guy who's clearly a psycho. He kills Teresa Wright's pet and scares his wife half to death. But Emery just sits back and let's it happen. He does nothing about it and actually doesn't even care. Then in the end when his wife is probably going to get raped, he lays there and pretends to be sleeping because he's too afraid to go outside and save his wife. I hated Bruce Dern's character Jesse, but I hated Pat Buttram's character even more. Not only was he a cheap bastard and a coward, but he was a male chauvinist. He didn't give a damn about his wife, didn't love her, and admit she was only there to serve him. The only satisfaction I got in the end was when Teresa Wright stabs him with Jesse's knife when she learns he hung her out to dry. Teresa Wright's character suffers the whole episode and it is all because of Buttram's character.
