[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] 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] 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".
