- DirectorRobert StevensStarsAlfred HitchcockJohn ForsytheCloris LeachmanA man returning to his home town finds his father has died, and suspects his friends are covering up the true details of that death.Great twist! Really enjoyed the mystery of the episode and thought it was vey straight forward. Until it was revealed the lead was the murderer and was actually coming from a mental hospital. Loved Hitchcock closing monologue “We’ll see you in…” *checks watch, realizes it’s not there. “We’ll see you next week.”
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAlfred HitchcockJoseph CottenRaymond BaileyWilliam Callew is involved in a bad traffic accident on a rural road, that leaves him so paralyzed he appears lifeless, and when help arrives they think he's really dead.Nightmare of an episode. Joseph Cotton is great. Everything comes full circle nicely and this hard businessman definitely learns a lesson.
- DirectorRobert StevensonStarsAlfred HitchcockPeter LawfordJohn WilliamsHeavily indebted Charlie Raymond is hired to accompany a British visitor on a trip across the USA, and looks for a way to take advantage of his employer.Con-man obliviously cons a con-man thinking he’s the real man. Fun twist there! Narration is a bit cheesy though. Warm welcome to John Williams though!
- 1955–196230mTV-147.4 (1.3K)TV EpisodeDirectorRobert StevensStarsAlfred HitchcockEverett SloaneBeulah BondiA serial-murderess maid is on the loose in the city. Ralph becomes suspicious of his wife Ethel's housemaid Mrs. Sutton.Solid story with predictable, but welcome twist of the wife actually being the one poisoning his cocoa. There is a scene I couldn’t help but laugh at. The husband is sitting and facing the kitchen speaking to his wife in the chair. He’s talking to her about the maid and how he gets bad vibes. Then they go up to bed and the maid was standing in the kitchen the entire time haha! Loved seeing Beulah Bondi
- 1955–196230mTV-147.2 (1.5K)TV EpisodeDirectorRobert StevensonStarsAlfred HitchcockSidney BlackmerVirginia GreggFrank Partridge and his wife plot to cheat their life insurance company by having her hide out for 7 years and declared legally dead, but an investigator believes Mr. Partridge has murdered her.What’s up with this insurance agent being so annoying?! Just appears out of nowhere throughout the 7 years lol. Solid ending, very unfortunate for Frank and Mildred. Of course he ends up killing her and burying her where they searched 7 years earlier.
- DirectorDon MedfordStarsAlfred HitchcockGene BarryDarren McGavinA cook tries everything she can think of to end a dispute between two gunmen who have sworn to kill each other.The best thing about this episode is when Hitchcock says the two men ended up dying that day from Maggie’s poor cooking. I’m laughing more than expected at his monologues. Episode itself was clever too.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAlfred HitchcockRalph MeekerVera MilesWhen Carl Spann's wife Elsa is assaulted by an unknown attacker, he drives his still-incoherent wife around town, hoping she can point him out, so he can kill him.It was fine. Goes to show you can’t stake all your confidence into one answer. In this case it meant an innocent person being killed. The ending was a bit abrupt.
- DirectorDon MedfordStarsAlfred HitchcockPatricia HitchcockGeoffrey TooneWhen a young woman leaves her ill mother in a Paris hotel room and comes back later, she finds her mother is missing, and all the hotel's employees deny she and her mother were ever there.The Lady Vanishes as a TV episode. Pretty ridiculous story - the whole mystery was because they didn’t want Pat to find out her mother had buponic plague. Kinda silly, but some fun. It’s basically Gaslight the episode. Alfred’s shout out to his daughter at the end was very sweet.
- DirectorJustus AddissStarsAlfred HitchcockGene BarryNancy GatesGangster Dan Varrell, just released from prison, goes looking for the woman he holds responsible for his brother's death.Boring with a pretty predictable ending. Guy wants revenge on woman but wants her to die like his brother did (at her doing) so he makes sure she’s happy and loving life, then shoots her.
