Alfred Hitchcock Hour: The Ordeal of Mrs. Snow

Pretty decent episode. But (spoiler) in the the end, why didn't he just lock the both of them in there?

Many women are portrayed as being out for money, using men as the suckers in their traps too. AH does treats women as aggressors and victims, though society of the time was more sympathetic to the plight of a woman in distress.

I really think Patricia was a superb actress in her time and highly overlooked. I remember her from The Little Foxes and Shadow of a Doubt and she was simply wonderful.
I love her acting style.
The one recurring theme in the AH episodes is that women are portrayed as being very stupid and will do anything for love.

Mrs. Snow is a witty and foolish old lady with a deep red heart for her niece... and for Bruce?

This would be better as a 30 minute play. I love Patricia Collinge-she nailed it! And being a cat lover, of course I would like this episode. Jessica Walter was gorgeous but I don't get how a lot of these stories deal with a rich girl always going for the poor thuggish creep. It would work better if Jessica's part was played by a dowdier actress. I think I saw this redone as a Columbo episode, with the roles reversed, and wasn't Don in that one too?

The story dragged out during the second half.
The story played much better on Columbo.

A young New York tough marries into wealth and society only to find he can't change his ways. A beautiful young Jessica Walter plays his naive wife, with the wily Patricia Collinge as the family matriarch. Some subtle twists turn what could have been a run-of-the-mill story on its ear.
