Classic Non-Gunfight
2 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Sometimes the vignettes by Alfred Hitchcock were better than the episodes. This may be one of them. The plot of this is that two gunfighters face off at a roadhouse, run by Ellen Corby. They stand in that classic Western posture, ready to draw. She begins to think up reasons they shouldn't do anything. She keeps them from drawing their guns by shaming them, feeding them, using a cuckoo clock to its fullest effect. The two of them look sillier land sillier and would certainly withdraw if they were able to save face. The old lady has a good point and manages to tame them eventually. Still, the comments by the master of suspense are precious. Don't miss the closing.
