I liked the methodical way that Peter Fonda did away with Robert Emhardt! Sammy Reese was great as the meek brother, he was in 'The Jar', another Hitch masterpiece! Karma rules every time! :)

It's better than a lot of big-screen movies, never mind made-for-TV episodes.This revenge plot is a tremendously suspenseful duet, with nice camera work and a couple of ingenious surprises. You will catch yourself holding your breath.Robert Emhardt , one of Hitchcock's favorite character actors, plays two-faced bad guy Riley McGrath.Beautiful Peter Fonda ("Easy Rider"), barely grown, is Verge Likens--really, too pretty and smooth to play an outdoor laborer, but he does seem suited to the careful handling of peaches. He does a good slow simmer here.Sammy Reese renders a touching portrayal of the bereft and naive brother Wilford Likens, like a more sensitive version of the Lennie Small character in "Of Mice and Men."And if it ain't Goober ("The Andy Griffith Show")! George Lindsey isn't playing nice here, though.Most people wouldn't shoot you for spraying beer-fizz at them; but then, most disenfranchised small-town farmers probably didn't hang out in twist joints in the '50s and '60s, so it's a strange start all around.The bar's background music gave Hitchcock an excuse to do a side bit with a dig at rock and roll and long-haired men.I have to say, in this episode is the first time I've ever seen soft, fuzzy fruit used as an implement of destruction. Maybe a metaphor for gentle people who get angry?Of interest in the news: Peter Fonda actually did find the dead body of someone who committed suicide in January, this year. Unfortunately, it was not just part of a Hitchcock movie.

I'm already a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock & his work & i also like the young Peter Fonda so i can't claim my opinion as non-bias. if u haven't seen Hitchcock's work before or maybe just this show in particular then i suggest you watch this. If u already love Hitchcock but haven't seen Alfred Hitchcock Hour then i suggest u watch this. if u like the show but haven't seen this one then watch it. if u just like Peter Fonda watch it. it's a good show and you wont be disappointed. suspenseful interesting & well acted. big twist at the end.I honestly chose to watch this episode when i did for the sole reason that i noticed Peter Fonda in it. He has some great movies i like from the 60's & 70's...you know, before he became a a burnt out geriatric old acid head that can hardly... say... his... own... name..., on the multiple appearances he has made as "himself" all over television & a few small roles in forgotten movies since his short lived but explosive walk with fame. ....check this video out you will enjoy it if you have good taste in old school drama.

I agree with both Gustave R. and Liz U. It was certainly wonderful to see Peter Fonda as a young man. I so enjoy Hitchcock and am appreciative to Hulu for making this available to everyone. This was a five star *Hitch.

Its a pleasure to see how the AHH was a magnet for the top stars in Hollywood. Not only that , but putting unexpected stars in macabre roles, such as the likes of Teresa Wright in "The Lonely Place" as a murderer. After all wasn't she Lou Gehrig's wife in the Pride of the Yankees? In this episode who would have thought that Peter Fonda could do so well in his innocent yet dark role as the son of a murdered farmer. His surprise "return" at a most unexpected point in the play made this episode all the more suspenseful and entertaining.

A very good episode although I didn't think I would like it. This stars a very young and handsome Peter Fonda. The end is probably the most suspenseful five minutes I've seen out of all the episodes.
