The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: Good-Bye, George (1963)
Season 2, Episode 10
Almost unwatchble
19 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
First of all. The casting of Stubby Kaye? Horrendous in the role of "George." He is a cartoonish mess, and it is completely unbelievable that he would ever have been married to "Lana," regardless if she were seventeen at the time. His line delivery belongs in some lame C-level comedy from the Forties. Fortunately, he is the victim almost half-way through (as was obvious from the start) - I came very close to turning off the episode.

And, of course, Alice Pearce plays a variation of the same character she performs in almost everything she does.

The whole border inspection scenario seems quite unlikely.

The ending is idiotic, and you can see it coming. The body would NOT have been moved before the house was unlocked. The agent would NOT have snuck the press into the cottage, no matter the attempted plot set-up of appeasing "Haila."

An episode to be missed.
