Where Beauty Lies is the second last episode of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents series, episode 38 from season 7. It's truly a disturbing episode and the climax is horrific!
Caroline is a spinster in her 30s who seems to have dedicated most of her life to her younger, famous actor brother Colin. Although she expresses that she resents being just a convenience she also gets upset when he doesn't need her around. It's a little hard to understand what Caroline really wants as she contradicts herself throughout the whole story and she's especially jealous of Colin's girlfriend Joan.
Despite her protests, Caroline is the one that needs Colin to be a constant fixture in her life and she'll go to the most wicked of ways to achieve it. The ending I did not see coming as it's unimaginable that a person could be as evil as Caroline.
Cloris Leachman (she starred in three AHP episodes) gives a great performance as does George Nader. Rated 9/10.
