Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

rpralica This is an excellent TV show much better than Twilight Zone.Alfred Hitchcock are proved that is best director all the time.He is master of thriller. His ideas are unexpected and his humour are intelligent. From season to season he is better and better. No one director like Hitchcock so god. His stories are so brilliant and prove his talent . This series is original and better to say Twilight Zone is copy of this TV show. Hitchcock is selected great actors like John Williams who is excellent actor. I must to say that this TV show is the best I ever seen. Thanks to Hitchcock for all his movies and TV shows.After all his work is most important in film industry.

hellraiser7 This is another one of my favorite TV shows of all time and it's also another one of my favorite anthologies. Believe or not this show in a way is a bit of another childhood relic of mine, I've seen reruns of this show when I was about 9; this show for me not just introduced me to the master of suspense himself Alfred Hitchcock but also this show was the first suspense thriller I've ever seen.Not a lot to say, I really love the theme song which is one of my favorite theme songs of all time, it fits the nature of the show it's a bit of a strange almost quirky tone because it both humorous and mysterious at the same time.It's always fun whenever Alfred Hitchcock always introduces each story with his drollness and dry humor, which I'll admit is something I sorely miss in most anthologies.And I really like most of the suspense stories, each of them were always a surprise and each felt like they were in the same spirt as Alfred Hichcock, from the dry black humor, twist endings, deception, flawed or untrustworthy protagonists, you name it it's all there if your a fan of his films.The stories always kept me in suspense because of how layered it truly is giving it a sort of three dimensional. I knew what I was getting but never entirely sure of what I was about to get next. It was even more suspenseful because each of the situations felt like something that could happen to anyone, made me grateful I never was or even intent to ever get myself in that kind of fix. But also wonder how the heck the protagonist is going to get him or herself out of the fix, let alone if I was even in that fix if it's possible I could get out of it.Let alone those endings at time real brought me over the edge as most of them were always twists, it really gave the show a sense of unpredictability because due to how the story was going you honest felt like the end result could go north or south on itself in a heartbeat.There are dozens of memorable episodes that really had me on my toes and really gave me a lasting impression. "Beta, Gamma, Delta" where a fraternity plays a cruel prank on one of the members, but as an old saying goes the joke is on them. Another which is my favorite story is "Man with a Problem" on a guy that is about to jump off a building unless one single cop can successfully talk him out of it. It was a 50 50 situation, I honestly felt like things could go either way. One moment that was blackly funny was when some blowhole teenagers were yelling to the guy to jump, it's pretty much the classic tempting of fate.Well I've said enough, Alfred Hichcock Presents is a masterpiece theatre of suspense.Rating: 4 stars

motownfn I remember watching this show very late at night as a young kid on WTTG in Washington,DC during the '70s. I never saw it again until the late '80s when Nick At Nite was airing it. This was an excellent series with great acting and exceptional stories. The episode that sticks out most in my mind is "Lamb To A Slaughter" starring Barbara Bel Geddes (Miss Ellie from the Dallas TV series). I won't give away the ironic ending, but watch what Barbara does when the police come to the house to investigate just how her hateful husband met his untimely end. You too will find the humor as you watch Barbara's look of satisfaction in pulling the wool (pardon the pun) over the cops' eyes.

skorcher Check out the Alfred Hitchcock Hour in the 1965 season (episode 17 season 3). This is the episode you're talking about. I just saw it on TV a few nights ago. There are two nurses and a drunken housekeeper. You got most of the story right. The hefty one, Nurse Betty, and the pretty one, Nurse Sheila are at a rich man's house. The rich man is in an oxygen tent over his bed and is an invalid. The electricity goes out during a storm and the three women stumble around in the dark, carrying candles. The housekeeper keeps hearing a man's voice telling her that she has a pretty neck. The two nurses sedate her and then hear a noise downstairs. Nurse Betty goes down to check it out. Turns out the male gardner is trying to get back in the house. Nurse Betty is heard screaming. Nurse Sheila grabs a fireplace poker and descends the staircase to help out. Betty is found cowering by the wall, but very much alive. Sheila sees a man behind the door and throws the poker at him. She sees that it is the gardner and knows something's wrong. Nurse Betty hovers over Sheila and peels off "her" wig to reveal "herself" as the man you describe. The ending is one of the eeriest in the Hitchcock series.
