Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Big Kick (1962)
Season 7, Episode 37
3/10
Towards the end of the half hour shows, it seems as if they were just phoning a few in.

The story begins with Mitch and Judy broke and hungry, as they are the stereotypical bohemian beatniks. Mitch refuses to work and he has a plan to make fast money. Some square professor (Wayne Rogers) is a lonely man...and Mitch's plan involves Judy vamping him and taking him for all she can. Nice folks, huh? Well, their plan naturally does NOT go off as they planned, as this is "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

It seems as you watch this episode that whoever wrote it really thought the beatniks were a bunch of lazy, dishonest and pretentious jerks. They don't seem like much else in this show! And, while I didn't mind the way the show made fun of these beat generation folks, the story and the ending seemed very weak....and not all that interesting. A weird and unconvincing show.
