Stream Alfred Hitchcock Presents for FREE on Peacock:pck.tv/48eKZBU
Alcoholic mother is broke and wants custody of her biological daughter. When she is told that she can make a profit from kidnapping her own child, she fails to think twice about what she is getting herself into.
Season 6 "A Crime for Mothers" Dir by Ida Lupino
Lottie Mead is an alcoholic mother who demands that custody of her daughter be returned to her. She has not seen her daughter in years. When her daughter's guardians Ralph and Jane Birdwell refuse to cooperate, she demands money in order to leave them alone. The Birdwells do not give her the money so she plots with a detective named Ames to kidnap the girl for ransom. Ames takes Lottie to a schoolyard and points out her daughter. Later, Lottie kidnaps the girl. Unfortunately, she kidnaps the wrong girl. Faced with a real kidnapping charge, Ames agrees to help her if she returns the girl unharmed and if she promises to stop annoying the Birdwells. Ames is, in fact, a friend of the couple and the kidnapped girl is really his own daughter.

"A governess, like in Jane Eyre?" "Where's that?" Too funny!!!

I thought the wife was the daughter at first.

[@willg4802]

That's a an insult.

[@leishayoung4124]

I agree. Mead is great in this.

[@poorthing]

Claire Trevor, (she won an Oscar for playing an alcoholic in Key Largo) Similar role in looks, voice, and acting skills.

[@geenal360]

Lol- but risking your daughter!!!! OMG😉! Nice twist.

[@revk8611]

Hey Margaret, don't tell your Mommy what I had you do after school. Okay?

[@falconfeathers9454]

I absolutely adored "Hitch". With a twisted thought, I am grateful for the technology that can still bring these amazing films to my computer. Atonishing that one mind can create such an incredible archive of such bizarre twisted ideas.

[@scotnick59]

Claire Trevor was such a fantastic actress!

Imagine having a drunken floozy like that for a mother. She was in Key Largo, excellent actress.

She looked better as a brunette.

Claire Trevor is just wonderful.

[@janedoe805]

John Doll I was twisting my brain trying to figure out who that actress was. Thank you 😊

[@johndoll1511]

@@janedoe805 She had an amazing and long career. This was the era when an actress like Ms. Trevor were superior actors. Jo Van Fleet was another. She also did a Hitchcock episode as well. Trivia...Ms Trevor lost one of her sons in that mid-air collision over San Diego back in the late 70's between a private plane and a 727 operated by PSA Airlines.

Wow that was a good one🤣🤣🤣 daddy

[@lpronovost84]

What the hell are those kids jumping up and down on the bench. That's dangerous

[@McIntyreBible]

These short excerpts from AHP are watchable. AHP originals (over an hour and a half) are too lengthy!

[@geenal360]

Roger McIntyre I agree get to the point!

[@popculturewatch8689]

Over an hour and an half? What are you talking about? This episode just like all of them are 20 something minutes until you get to alfred hitchcock hour. Even then, it's not actually an hour.

[@gmvn19]

A great scope to imagine what may have happened before & after this little episode .one can write a big story, even a small novel based on this. I enjoy that .I have started to write a big story.

[@caliden3785]

These are very entertaining to watch.🙂🤗

[@14catsand1human]

Kidnap her own child without a plan, no food 😂.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

The image of the actress reminded me of Mother Marcus, Carol Burnett Show’s character played by Harvey Korman. 😂

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Simply fantastic!

Wow! Ida Lupino directed this. I had no idea she could direct.

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

Corno di Bassetto You are a film-house mouse. You know everything, in detail! ; )

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

They call her "The Original Jodie Foster", to make a long story short. Ida is a babe.

[@poetcomic1]

She had to fight to the director's chair every inch of the way till her female stars went to bat for her.

[@spiderblackwidow8747]

I love🖤🖤🖤 this .. wish I could see the whole thing all the way to the end .

[@mjremy2605]

In today's legal system if the detective had endangered his own daughter by allowing a stranger to kidnap her, bring the girl to a strange house, drink in front of her, he would have been in trouble with the law himself and CPS, not to mention his wife!

[@Lisa1111]

Wow! Thank God that my mama isn't an albatross! A rather "creepy" kid snatching if you give it thought. 😳 Anchovies and salted crackers... yum 🤣 Kid goes back home for a taste of caviar and bubbly.

[@poetcomic1]

That is CLAIRE TREVOR Academy Award winner at her 'lushest'! She is almost as good as Liz in Virginia Woolf. GREAT directing job by Ida Lupino, a gutsy gal who pushed her way both in front of the cameras and behind them as a respected director. I am not a big fan of her directing in movies so much but in this shorter format she is GREAT. The ending was a pleasant twist and sort of the 'cherry on the cake'.

[@spongebobandplanktonshould2920]

Ida's great fer sho'. Cool lassie. Zero clue who is "Claire Trevor". Maybe she's nice. Btw, the little girl is annoying lol.

[@poetcomic1]

@@spongebobandplanktonshould2920 Claire Trevor won an Academy Award for playing gangster Edward G. Robinson's wife in Key Largo with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. She was great as a woman with a 'drinking problem'.

There is a channel on KZbin that does have full, hour long episodes. I believe it's called "Public Domain Television". They've got tons of full episodes.

As a mother I say … As if you wouldn’t recognise your own daughter 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@gabrielle916]

My thoughts exactly

[@valeriedemello1794]

If you hadn't seen her since birth, you probably wouldn't be able to pick her out in a crowd.

[@teambeining]

The stereotypes in these shorts are hilarious.

[@mscarolynnigro]

What if she lost her mind and hurt the child?

[@evelynmifsud1125]

wow , what a good example , from the so called a father, telling his daughter to lie, and in the same time risking the child life , as who know's the drunken mother could have hurt her. Not Hitchcock at all.
