It shouldn't, because "cheaters never prosper", but..... "Never say never" cos ya never know .... 4sure!? That mistress was in terrible distress & ya know how some men love 2 'save a damsel in distress'..... ;0}
I hate to mention this but since it’s a living subject might as well use it as solid proof that sometimes it does work for the right reasons. Ethan Hawke left Uma Thurman for the nanny and they married and he’s had more kids… still married. 🤷🏻♀️ I felt sorry for Uma because she’s a sweetheart but I guess sweethearts like her don’t get appreciated enough by men like her fo rmer husband.
Lol.....always a man wants what he thinks he can't have. Or the thought of his woman moving on with someone else....lol. It's happened to me .....but I never go backwards....only forward. Too bad, lol.
The husband is played by Ronald Howard who also played Sherlock Holmes in the '50's. More of a softwood pine than quality mahogany actor. A sort of poor man's George Saunders, but not bad.
Bates appears to be an actor named Artie Johnson, who went on to be a major player in the TV comedy show with Rowan and Martin ‘Laugh in’ in the early 70’s. This episode appears to be from around 1964-5 . Please let us know.

That coat was probably over a thousand bucks even then! A friend gave me a beautiful faux fur "fox" coat similar to that, but I'm almost afraid to wear it because it looks too real! I live in S.

I don't go anywhere "fancy", so I only wear it visiting friends.
I don't think a fir coat is as classy or lady-like as kindness, grace & humility in good looking woman. I'd rather live in a warmer place, save the animals, and let the materialistic bimbos die for those firs, instead!?
@@bodnica I'm a woman. I know that there have been cases where the second marriage has worked where the first one hasn't. And that some people are happier in a sable relationship that doesn't include being married to each other.
@jazinegrrrl Mary Boleyn was Henry VIII's mistress and she got swept under the rug. Anne Boleyn was Henry's mistress and she became queen - then she couldn't give him a son so she was killed. Both got treated badly but Anne underestimated the game she was playing and payed way too heavy a price for it. Still, Henry ended up fat and a tyrant so at least he paid some price.
Look at Wallis Simpson. Letters found recently show she tried to end it & he threatened suicide. She still had feelings for her husband, but he'd moved on .
I think we all got the ending of this, we just don’t like it lol the husband fell in love with his wife again because he thought he almost lost her and when he fought out she’s been waiting the whole time and there no competition he lost interest
I like these little clips. They get straight to the meat and potatoes of the story. I have the attention span of a millennial chihuahua puppy and couldn't sit still long enough to make it thru an hour long AH story. (Sad to say) This tho? Now this I can get with! Plus I can play Best Fiends while watching these little great stories at the same time. I'm such a millennial. Smh 😂
So why can’t you publish the date of this episode and the actors’ names, hummm? It is important to many many of your viewers of these vintage films, please add these important facts in your descriptions.
Brand Account I followed the information in the description box. A secret life - 1961 Ronald Howard, Mary Murphy, Patricia Donahue, Arte Johnson, Addison Richards. You’re welcome.
If some is good enough to download a film. play or even an excerpt and information is missing for whatever reason why cant the person who would like said information use google to find it for themselves?
Stevie no it hasn’t guy, you’d better go back in time to see that the word “gay” was normally used to mean ‘merry, lively, vibrant,happy, etc”. (Websters Dictionary) Even in this Hitchcock episode it’s used that way, and this was produced around 1959. It’s only in the 1970’s did this biblical word take on the licentious, perverted meaning that it is known by today!
@@sillygoose635 "Now we don our gay apparel -- Fa la la, fa la la, la la la." Yes, I'm sure that old traditional Christmas carol is referring to people dressing up in flamboyant attire. from Wikipedia: Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to mean "carefree", "cheerful", or "bright and showy". The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the mid-20th century. So, Stevie, I think YOU are the one who should "go back to your perverted, superfluous nonsense."
I enjoyed this pleasant short film. It was nice that the twist was no murder. Some men like the chase. He found his wife more captivating thinking she was desired by others. It was a sweet short film. I was initially nervous thinking someone might get hurt.
Sweet. As a friend pointed out, this illustrates psychoanalyst Lacan's "lost object A". "The objet a is both the void, the gap, and whatever object momentarily comes to fill that gap in our symbolic reality. What is important to keep in mind here is that the objet a is not the object itself but the function of masking the lack."
It is painfully obvious that the husband CANNOT DANCE! So why would Hitchcock insist on forcing the audience to watch him struggle through his awkward rhythm free efforts?
@@hopemccubbin8661 That's not all, not in the slightest. He's turned on when he thinks his wife has been with another man. It's gets him excited, and he's disappointed when he learns she wasn't. It's creepy. I don't know why you're defending this perversion.
I basically think no one deserves to have a cheating spouse. Trust is like a crystal glass that once it’s broken,it’s hard to fix them.. That’s why it’s important to apply wisdom when dealing with our partners... Last week I suspected my husband cheating on me, a friend recommended a hacker to me I contacted him and he helped me get cheating proves by helping me hack his phone giving me full access to everything he does on his phone... I got access to all his phone call logs, Text messages, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Kik, Emails, Social media chats (both old and new) without looking at his phone... if you suspect your spouse cheating on you, just contact this great hacker via text/whatsapp or call him +1 (908) 799‑8357 , or via mail (cyberprohack100@gmail.com). His services are very trusted and guaranteed and also affordable, I can’t thank him enough. I hope you find peace of mind just like I have found after discovering the truth As the saying goes,what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
But i remember we used to love the monologs by the man hiself, even the introductory music is missing ...... this is entertaining but it is like some one took a famous rock song and deletet the opening guitar riff or the drum solo. this a crime against art. WTF if you are going to post an alfred hitchcocks presents. DON"T BUTCHER IT LIKE THIS PLEASE.
john gillon I don't think this series is yet public domain. Some say it is but from what I can tell it isn't and there is only one episode that is. A new law went into effect in 1978 where tv could extend their copyright for 47 years which makes it public domain in 2025. It's what I got from my quick research but I'm definitely not an expert on this. But it makes no sense why this channel would go to trouble of editing if law allowed the full length to be shown for free. And this channel from I can tell keeps it down to under 13 minutes which is what I've noticed people who post copyrighted material often do...I'm not an uploader so I'm just trying to figure it out myself too. Not sure why the channel doesn't defend actions with all the comments they get about it. Perhaps it's too much trouble now and they didn't know they would get the negative comments.
The dialogues,the setup, the plot .. simply everything reinforcing why Hitchcock's work is timeless.
@Corno di Bassetto A fair point
However I was referring to Hitchcock's vision on general
You’re right, and he was a master at the understated - a true genius.
Sometimes the married man gives ya some nice jewelry 😂 😄
but gives the better jewelry to his wife.
THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD ONE.
Dinner and dancing before being together was the dating ritual back in the day. Must see if your partner was good at ‘dancing’.
Dinner and dance is a romantic way to woo a lady
Good at dancing...that is kind of a litmus test.
The Third watch then?🤣😂🤣😂
Alfred had a good sense of humor he must. have been very smart I love his short stories 🎬
What did she expect getting involved w a married man? It never works out for the mistress
It shouldn't, because "cheaters never prosper", but..... "Never say never" cos ya never know .... 4sure!? That mistress was in terrible distress & ya know how some men love 2 'save a damsel in distress'..... ;0}

@@hana.the.writer5074 it won’t last.
Or maybe this is just what wives like to believe...
Hitchcock was a master of irony. Ronald Howard (son of actor Leslie Howard) doing a good job as a jealous hubby. And using a good American accent.
That was Ashley Wilkes' kid?? I'll be damned.
Why is everyone named Marsha?
Lol.....always a man wants what he thinks he can't have. Or the thought of his woman moving on with someone else....lol. It's happened to me .....but I never go backwards....only forward. Too bad, lol.
Wanting what you can't have is a two way street darling 😇
Such a great story teller! I miss these!
The husband is played by Ronald Howard who also played Sherlock Holmes in the '50's. More of a softwood pine than quality mahogany actor. A sort of poor man's George Saunders, but not bad.
That’s an interesting analogy, never heard it before but very clever
His father was the Scarlet Pimpernel who had wife problems too.
There was only ONE George Saunders, who was Mr. Irony itself.
I’ve seen all those Holmes episodes
Ha ha. How cute. Very sweet. A marriage reunited. And his girlfriend was shallow anyway! His wife loves him.
Haha true:) ...However, although it worked out well, I think his wife could have done better than him.
Yes it is!! …❤️
This was a great episode Alfred Hitchcock lives right up to his movies thanks for sharing this episode 👍🇺🇸

Now, it's all tee shirts and jeans. 😖
@@daisyq3418 lol I wasn't aware that t-shirts and jeans aren't considered clothes...?

Lol when I was a very young kid I was Artie Johnson's character from Laugh-In where he rode around on a tricycle in a yellow raincoat.
Awesome!
Great need more full episodes
“It’s your wife” .. “Yes. Why does she have to be so difficult..” 😜
I love Basil Rathbone! ❤️🙏 (Original Sherlock Holmes)
Me too deana.l have never met another fan of Basi. Good to meet you.!!
He should be divorced on the grounds of that ideous suit.
Right off the rack, the drapes and carpet rack!
I think you mean "hideous" suit.
Said it before and I'll say it again, the only time the story of the mistress ever works out is when she knows not to expect too much from it.
like the song "Sad Eyes" ..turn the other way, I don't want to see you cry..." ?

Everything was grand
The ending leaves me suspicious of the husbands possible change of heart. Maybe Hitchcock should of let only the viewers in on the twist.
"Maybe Hitchcock should of let only the viewers in on the twist."
Oh, I like that idea! That would have been even more fun!
He was just caught off guard, and seemed to have found the situation humorous.
Yes me too

I would never divorce my wife for a woman like her.

Why Mr Howgill seems the same person playing Sherlock Holmes i.e. Ronald Howard to me? May be I am wrong.
