Frances Gillotti she got involved with a con man. When he saw how broken she was when he let her down, he conned a couple of mobsters to get the money for her. He knew he was risking - maybe even knew he was sacrificing - his life to get the $8K, but he did it because he genuinely had feelings for her. The barkeep denied any knowledge of Harry because he didn’t want to be connected in any way to someone the Mob had killed.

Pad on commercial time and his episode specific monologue and epilogue and that's each episode. From 1962 on the episodes were longer and the show was rebranded "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour".

​@@pippishortstocking7913, you are absolutely wrong! These shows on YT are approximately 10-minute clips of the original "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" episodes. Do your research. The reason they are cut is to get around copyright laws. All that's shown here is the gist of each story - not the complete episode. No one is confusing "Presents" with "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour."

Yes, this is excerpts from an episode of a drama series. The video poster has edited the full drama down to the most crucial scenes so the gist of the story can be conveyed in a very short time. I don't know, but I the episodes were almost certainly timed for either half-hour or one-hour time slots. (So about 25 or 50 minutes for the actual program, the rest for "commercials" (adverts).

[@bonnielucas153]

Maybe women desperate for marriage was a plot for several years after the second world war. Two huge engagements, the two world wars, took many able- bodied marriage age men out of the usa population. Almost every male in my family for three generations served in the USA military. I am here because my maternal grandfather and father were able to come back in one piece. My grandfather died a few years after fathering my mother. He was gassed in Belgium. He was a very talented artist. Then my mom grew up and married a guy who survived the Korean war with no serious scrapes. My two sisters and I are all baby boomers. Two husbands of three served in or during viet nam. The third guy was nowhere near service health level. anyway, just speculation on why this plot line occurs often in Hitchcock from decades ago. I don't know what the percentage of active duty military is with American males in the 20th century, but it has to be very high, because we have had huge numbers of vets for my entire lifetime ( born late 1958) and long before. American veteran services are large organizations, and we have had so many vets for so long that we have only recently started to better meet their many needs if injured seriously. Also, not being married and just living together was definitely not as acceptable as it is now. It has become the rule not the exception
