Hard not to think of "Brokeback Mountain" when I saw this episode. So great!

Demarest and Ates are adorable as feisty old coots who take care of each other. I saw the end coming from early on, but let this unfold for you slowly, and enjoy the ride.

Roscoe Ates is at his stuttering best in Todd Browning's outré horror-fest "Freaks" and King Vidor's tear-jerker "The Champ". William Demarest, graciously ignoring his role in "My 3 Sons", is best remembered for his work ("The Lady Eve", "Sullivan's Travels") with Preston Sturges, whose mother, Mary Desti, used to "pal around with (spiritual) terrorist" Aleister Crowley. Ben Johnson, a Cherokee, was a mainstay in Westerns, including John Ford's "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" and "Fort Apache". He was in George Steven's "Shane" and the only film Brando directed, "One-Eyed Jacks", as well as Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch". He won an Oscar for his supporting role in Bogdanovich's "The Last Picture Show".

This was just plain ol' wonderful! One thing you learn from watching these Hitchcock episodes are the lil ol' aunties, uncles and country folk are lethal! LOL Another wonderful tale from Hitchcock! Thanks, Hulu
