Drunken Mother Tries To Kidnap Her Daughter | Hitchcock Presents

[@revk8611]

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

[@AS-yh6xu]

What an amazing actress- to play a drunk is not easy

[@geenal360]

I thought the wife was the daughter at first.

[@rachelgarber1423]

Me too

[@carroyo911]

Me three...

[@jillbaker5658]

Me 4 lol

[@Ms.Delphine1204]

So did i 😂

[@kittycool8967]

Me too

[@LindaMcification]

Mead reminds me of Shelly Winters. Great character!

[@lavieenrose5954]

Abundantia Yes! *That’s* who I was thinking about; cheers

[@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.

[@revk8611]

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

[@geenal360]

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

[@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.

Nothing in the whole world....can RUIN watching HITCHCOCK!👍👍👍❤️

[@scotnick59]

Claire Trevor was such a fantastic actress!

Utube keeps deleting Hitchcock. Why only decent thing to watch my favourite

[@bearing44]

Yeah I know. Hard to find full episodes any more. F You Tube

[@iboroudoh6505]

My gracious me! It was even the little girl who kidnapped the drunken woman. 😂

[@johndoll1511]

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.

[@lindapapagan2707]

That attorney is the original Saul Goodman!

[@guineapig4701]

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

[@anntyler1091]

LOL🤣🤣

[@marywilliams9858]

She looked better as a brunette.

[@vickikay54]

She played a drunk in that as well. Yes, she is a good actress.

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

If my Pops had had a job like that I'd would have wanted to go to work with him everyday! Hysterical!

[@caliden3785]

These are very entertaining to watch.🙂🤗

That kid, "Eileen" sounds just as drunk as "Mrs. Meade" does.

[@jenniferfrazierlpc7171]

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

[@kennydawson265]

Excellent!

[@hardcorefromhell2016]

Wow that was a good one🤣🤣🤣 daddy

[@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.

[@lpronovost84]

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

[@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.

[@MissLachine]

Another great story 👍👍💕

[@Pinkroses-summer23]

Alfred’s wife was a writer of many of his stories.

[@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'.

[@rickey5353]

That was a doozy. Thanks.

[@annejenkin7619]

She was great in Key Largo

[@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.

[@kittycool8967]

Excellent from beginning to the surprise ending

[@rachelgarber1423]

Anchovies!!

[@lisamichelle8413]

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.

[@toni5810]

Nice twist!

[@asullivan4047]

Interesting/entertaining. Enjoy viewing 👀 the car/school building/telephone/heater radiator of that era-!!!🤗

[@ctaylor75751]

Didn't see that lil twist..

[@joematus410]

One for the road

[@BobbieXxoo]

Fantastic!

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

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.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

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

[@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!

[@miladydewinter7770]

Brilliant

Child abduction isn't very entertaining. More like disturbing. I guess nowadays we know what really happens.

[@DianeHasHopeInChrist]

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.

@@DianeHasHopeInChrist 👍🏾yep! I watch that channel for AH and so many other shows. Plus the owner of the channel is Hilarious!

The stereotypes in these shorts are hilarious.

[@--ag]

The dad used his own daughter in a kidnapping scheme. 😑

[@rachelgarber1423]

Wow, didn’t see that coming

[@michellepthompson3668]

She already began damaging her child by giving her up for adoption. The mother and child emotional 😢 bond. Beginning of being scared emotional for a child's lifetime 😢. Then the snow ❄️ balls of shock and emotional scares 😱 throughout the child's lifetime. Damaging the ability to learn Question, I believe in adoption? Some parents are .......but should we tell 🤔 the child that she is adopted? If so, when is the right time 😮?

[@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.
