Alfred Hitchcock directs this special episode of a priest in a small run down church. Desperate for money Father Amian turns to a Horse gambler to pay off the debts of the church.
"The Horse Player" Dir. By Alfred Hitchcock
The Reverend Amian is the pastor of a small church. He gets a sizable contribution from a horse race gambler named Sheridan. Sheridan has apparently prayed to win and has been successful. He gives the priest a tip on a horse. The priest gives him $500 of the church's savings to bet on the horse. Amian's conscience gets to him, however, and prays for the horse to lose. It does. Sheridan arrives and tells the priest that he bet his money on the horse to win and it almost did, but suddenly quit. The gambler also says he didn't want to risk the church's money on a win, and instead bet on the horse to show. Since it did, the church won $2,100.

Claude Rains ❤

Hitchcock presents another serious light comedy episode 💐💐

[@johnnowakowski4062]

Well, the priest had his prayer answered, the horse didn't win, the guy went back to the hardware business and the church got the dough. The Lord works in strange ways...

The Lord works in mysterious ways, Now they can get the new roof.

The irony is that the degenerate gambler is more virtuous than the priest. He could’ve easily claimed the priest’s winnings for himself, instead he’s a man of his word and even gives a small donation to the church with little money his has left.

Love Claude Rains ... happy to see him on Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

In some of the best and rarest of Hitchcock episodes, nobody is murdered, such as this one. The suspense is just the same, if not more so.

The Lord also has a sense of humour.

I don't understand why we would have to go peacock and pay for these old shows. Look at this priest, he would be a giving soul to all of us, so we could enjoy this show in our lifetime. I guess I should pray about this....lol..

[@matthewrendino9845]

This episode is a must see and is my favorite one because of the twist at the end. Acting was superb!!! Don't miss this one.

Actually, the gambler was bound to end up broke at some point if he continued to place it all on sure things - his performance was at 77% (14 out of 18). But didn’t he have that nice new car? He probably paid cash for it so all is not lost.
