Thelma is shocked when Mrs. Mannerheim tells her that she is her closest friend and has left her a considerable legacy in her will. Thelma poison's her tea but without any obvious effect.

Lot of women in prison because of a manipulative malignant narcissist man....her desperation"I'm 38 years old!" Still holds true today...poor self esteem and dire desperation.....sad
How lacking of insight can one comment be. This mindset is a rot on society.
Lot of men in prison behind a woman too, sick world we live in
@@dorapete4536 yeah.those who they killed huh?.
@@purplelove3666 You sound like you've had bad experiences with the men in your life! Not all men are evil! There are also a lot of wicked women in the world! Not too long ago, a female nurse in Ontario, Canada, poisoned a whole bunch of elderly people in several nursing homes! I have never seen a serial killer as scary as Aileen Wuernos. You can see her on U-tube here being interviewed just before she got executed! You also must have heard of Bloody Mary, Queen of Scots! Have you ever heard of a cute lady called Batory? She had young girls kidnapped and brought to her castle, and then murdered them and bathed in their blood because she thought their blood would keep her looking younger!!! 😮😮 I could give you a long list of diabolical females if I had the time! ☹️😦😧
There is a computer program in banking that discriminates by gender, marital status, & age! No matter yer credit, it kicks in for older unmarried women.
Hitchcock NEVER disappoints. They don't make movies like he did anymore. The black and white adds to the drama.
Hello Mary, How are you doing?
@@liamroberts9047 looking for a date? Money usually fixes female depression.
Totally agree with you...!
🙏⚘💛⚘🙏
The first line I see a crappy attitude: "Look at that old thing", talking about a elderly customer.
Tic Toc sweetheart. And Oops,---and we are all gone just the same. So I am going to watch the rest, and see how crappy everybody else is acting, to maybe get a better understanding of what our society is today, and how we got here.
Reminds me of my childhood. Staying up after everyone went to bed to sneak and watch Hitchcock Presents reruns.
I had to wait until my 4 siblings were in Slumberland and was allowed back to watch while my Mom ironed😁
Same for me, too.
Me too!
I would watch it in my childhood, too, but in the 90s on nick at nite. Thank goodness I’ve always been able to appreciate good storytelling and creativity…no matter the time period.
@@Ty-wy9he so true. My daughter is the same too. She actually started watching episodes on TH-cam. And now she loves and appreciates Hitchcock, like we do. And she's only 16. ❤️
Mrs Mannerheim had a lovely rolling tongue with her pronunciation of the word 'rude' 08:40
Hook Beak Uhh... spoiler!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
German?
lol
She was T'Pau in Amok Time, Star Trek, the original series. The favorite episode of mine! 🖖👏👍👍❤️
@@debrasaunders7200 Austrian-American, daughter of a Czech composer.
No man ever created is worthy of THAT kind of devotion! No human at all is worthy of that!
Exactly! Point. Blank. Period!👏
"Oh so you're gonna chicken out and not kill her then I'm taking my picture back" lmao oh how the times have changed.
Now its; "Well if you won't kill her then I will just have to kill you biatch!
Hitchcock was A genius
These movies make me laugh. The person that wants to kill someone always gets someone else to do it...
I can watch AH videos over and still enjoy. The plots, the twists, and the end are of course enjoyable but I also simply enjoy the video as a whole - B&W and the flow. Not sure I will get tired of this in near future. Wonderful Alfred Hitchcock!
So, she actually made the old lady lived longer by giving her the poison/medicine. Without the medicine, the old woman would have died a long time ago.
No treatment for malicious VIOLENCE ?
Yep. That is why she was living.
Veddy intadesting..the little guy on laugh in would say that...if anyone remembers...I'm pretty old..nice to be safe in your house and get scared. Thank you so muco
Thanks
And slowly too
That rude, naughty girl Thelma got exactly what she deserved, served up with a nice twist ending of Anotyne!
Ah yes, old movies, where it takes someone 5 seconds to choke another person. The good ol days.
Nah, the old lady probably had a sudden heart attack as soon as she put her hands around her neck. She was pretty frightened those last few minutes of her life. She could sense the anger building up as the waitress became enraged.
Old movies?
This is a segment from a TV show. Movies and television in 2021 still portray strangulation as taking seconds.
In reality, strangulation takes 12-15 minutes. Much of which involves the continued asphyxiation of a lifeless unconscious person. That doesn't make for very compelling or thrilling television though, which is why it isn't portrayed.
Tv isn't supposed to be real life, you understand that, right?
😂 right?
@@tjmarx
They get ideas from real life for these stories!
@@R.Oates7902 Hitch didn't do real life melodrama, indeed he was adamantly opposed to it.
His fiction was inspired as much from real life as any fiction is. That is to say, inspired by what they know but used to create something completely different.
This is Hitchcock Presents, not One Step Beyond.
Unfortunately, you just don’t see acting of this high caliber on today’s TV shows...
Agree
Many of these were stage-trained actors with stage experience.
I still love watching Alfred Hitchcock, during the week at midnight, even though I have to be up at 6AM to get ready for work😂💕!
I do also even if they are reruns
Me too,! Except it comes on at one AM EST!
😊 me too, 6:00 every morning
And The Twilight Zone 😳🤣
DVR, TIVO
-Just tell ya boss you were watching Alfred Hitchcock & I,m sure he will understand because he was very likely watching Hitchcock The same as you.
everyone in this series sounds like they just put away three packs of Pall Mall unfiltered cigarettes
They all may have! Everyone smoked back then.
Girls in Hitchcock’s story always have dead beat husbands
Iknow right ? 😂😂🤦🏽♀️
Hitchcock knew the true nature of most people.
lol
That is so true.
Yep !
The almost 100 Mrs Mannerheim is played by an actress in her early 60s.
And the deadbeat boyfriend just moved on to the next desperate girlfriend who's trying to get married before it's too late. 🤔
The old lady is T'Pau from the original Star Trek.
OMG - she sure is! thanks - she was terrific in that part :} 🎭
I remember her in an episode of Twilight Zone. It was Queen of the Nile.
Once married to Peter Lorre.
And Thelma ended up on the Outer Limits, getting chased by Zanti Misfits!!😂😂 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
"Taste buds all shot!"
That line stood out to me as well. Lol
Any guy that wants you to knock off someone old or not is rotten to the core and doesn't care about you or anyone and will do the same to you when he cant use you and meets someone younger. No good.
Even if a person didn't get caught, Hell yawns before them.
Hitchcock movies remind me that anyone could be an evil fool and you have to be careful in this world even in those days the world has been evil since the beginning.
Hitchcock movies are great suspense movies, I always liked to try to guess what would happen.
Awesome. I like how karma comes back to bite her
I probably missed. Didn't they say miss Mannheim died from natural causes? I was wondering how she got of
@@ebazileyes1475 she didn't get off. She was going to prison. They said she died because she was strangled.
No one or no amount of money is worth selling your soul for!
Tell that to a Democrat.
Then you’re cheap.
@@MrJaxKnife or maybe priceless i mean not affordable for anyone
One of my favorite.
Never mind they're all my favorite
Rick Jason ended up taking his own life. Loved him in TV show Combat in the '60's.
Rick Jason.....WOW
I remember Olive Deering only in The Ten Commandments...nice to see her here
Old girl was something else.
The irony is that her narcicisist boyfriend threatened to leave if she would not administer the very thing that kept her alive. She should had let him leave. Her reaction was very 50's.
Yea never happens today
I have loved Hitchcock sunset I was 12 I read his magazine stories too. These shows were the best they were scary and kept your interest till the end of each episode. After all these years they are still so great.
Just goes to show that good help is so hard to find!
I never get tired of watching these episodes. I love this show.
Likewise ❤

"I, simply can't, I always drink my 🍵 with 🥛!"
Some women really mean you're the only one no matter what the cost. It's like that today but Hitchcock's films don't need any other characteristics in a women's personality. Just straight up....the plots are neverending. 👍
Sometimes I watch his films continuously. 💖
Some women are really good at lying.
@@MrJaxKnife you mean some men and women right ? It's okay everyone makes mistakes
@@pamelajordan2890 Absolutely, but she said “some women”. So the topic was specifically aimed at women. Regardless, humans are trash no matter what age, race or gender they are. Satisfied?
This is T’Pau of StarTrek ....the old woman
The master and a story; always a twist like O'Henry...
This popped up in my feed and I seriously thought it was Cloris Leachman until I looked it up (its Olive Deering)
Brett Somers Was My Thought
Does anybody else find it a little bit comical that a woman seems to be willing to do anything to “get married”. And to a man who obviously doesn’t care about her at all.
Seems to be reality for the average married woman especially if they have children.
It doesn't matter with or without children they need a man. And to commit murder where is your mind. I have no mercy on a person that do.
In those days, I hated that women were so desperate to have a man. and that is how it was too. crazy. thank goodness we wised up.
@@pamreffner1003 women have more rights in the workplace now too.
It’s sad. Because some women today,will do anything for a man. Smdh
"You are a rude, naughty girl!" 😂
If a woman wished to dedicate her life to family, husband and children, a nurturer, making a safe and comfortable home for them all, it was a full time job. It fell to the man to earn the living enabling both of them to maintain that safe and comfortable environment. There is nothing wrong with that dream as long as a woman is strong enough to wait for the right person with the same values. Otherwise find an occupation to use her gifts and find fulfillment in helping others. It's not easy for such a woman if she has to give up that dream.
My idea of helping others is starting a factory and hire people to get them out of poverty and gain opportunity themselves. Much better than the redistribution of hand outs and we shipped our factories to communism, (which also tells us to sacrifice for others), until we are all broke.
It was a great time in the USA when a man with no college degree could make enough money to raise a family and put their 5 kids through college.
But it didn't last long. Somebody does not want us making money, and those are the people telling s to live our lives for others.
My parents both worked and had minor degrees, and they bought a home with 80 acres in 72 for 24 grand, then built a new house on it that my Mother lives in to this day. I can't do that with 2 engineering degrees, and had to start a little business to get myself out of poverty. I understand the great days,---and the sabotage.
By the way, check out this movie on YT "An American story". The women of men who fought in WW2 were very impressive, (based on a true story). One became Doctor, (Kathleen Quinlin actually, beautiful person for this part), and had a very good argument with the hero in the rain. Morals, we do not see anymore. The other ran her husbands machine shop, and did a very good job. He came back and wanted her to go into the kitchen. Her speech, "It feels good to use my brain", was fantastic,---and what being human is all about, to think, to use our brains, man or woman. I did not tell you what the story is about,---but it could be only about those 2 ladies as some of the best film has ever seen. That is the spirit we lost.
That's Rick Jason from Combat ( Lt. Hanley ).
Yes these black and white movies are 👍
Hello Kathy, How are you doing?
What a misery, to think that you can improve your life by killing someone!
Thank you for the upload.
Brilliant ending
Something about the waitress reminds me of Sissy Spacek.
Reminds me of joanne whalley.
@@rosebud1493, I will check that out.
@@TheWriterWalker shes in the man who knew too little with bill Murray.
@@rosebud1493, thank you. I haven't watched the movie, but pictures of her show me what you mean.
Sondra Locke too (one of Clint Eastwood’s wives).
ok ive watched two parts of this and now i need to see the whole thing to see what happened between the two parts! its almost like a different movie!
Guy said "We could do it with the food." How about one those COVID clot jabs?
Riiiight...give her something in the 1950's that wasn't invented until just a year ago.
Olive Deering was a great pic by Hitchcock in this one.
One of the family was another Deering vehicle.
I liked Deering's brother also Alfred Ryker. They both were Actor Studio members in NewYork City.
@@roxannesantoro7503 I had no idea she had a brother in acting. Thanks for the info.I will have to look for his works.
Real actors go to acting schools. Maybe that's the reason for the lack of talented actors,/actresses in film today
@@roxannesantoro7503 Just googled Alfred. When you mentioned Olive had a brother, I pictured him in my mind. It was the same guy I was thinking of. No wonder , he was an excellent actor. They both attended the Strausberg studio (famous) in New York.
In addition, he was once married to Kim Stanley, another gem of am actress.
As Gomer Pyle would have said, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I always enjoy learning new things.
@@jasonlindsey9946 You're welcome. And sister Olive was once married to Sean Penn's father (Leo). I like learning things too.👍
@@roxannesantoro7503 Well I'll be dog gone!
Hollywood Is one big connection with each other in some way.
The other movie Olive was in was Caged. I know that you must have seen it.
I was thinking. The main difference on screen with the old and new actors, is Character, facial uniqueness. Today's actors just look like anyone on the streets. Carbon copies.
In the hey day of Hollywood, Bette Davis eyes, Cagney's voice,Crawford shoulders, etc.
The whole story is really good. 🥺
Hello Kathy, How are you doing?
@@liamroberts9047 Great. How are you
@@kathygermack1990 I'm well thanks, where are you from?
I love Rick Jason Lt.Hanley from Combat .
Sad ending to his life suicide 😪🙏❤
old THING? shes a person and we AL L GET OLD. GET OVER IT. and get used to being old when its your time. we are not all tan size 3 and wear makeup forever. its called Life.
So true
/whoosh
If I MUST get old, let me be a healthy, intelligent, glamorous old lady who looks much younger than her age. I want to be full of life, not full of dread.
What?
I wish I could see the whole episode
the guy looks like ray liota in another time zone
Is that Happy Gilmore's grandma? ( The maid) looks just like her but young.
Good One Thank you.
Agree!
I love anthology series. They were the bread and butter of theatrical radio. Light Out, The Witches Tale, Hermit's Cave, Dimension X and so on and so on.They were also huge in early television. They brought the Twilight Zone back but it was in colour and just not TZ as we know it. They made an ep of TZ into a movie, took a 20 odd minute ep and made it at least an hour and 40 minutes. Adding a bunch of junk, made it in colour, and set it in the wild west. Just garbage!
The Whistler, inner sanction
How that backfired ...
Another fan on here brought it to my attention how often women are killed by strangulation. I can’t believe I never noticed.
Hahahaha......That sucks!!! The look on the waitress's eyes was priceless, Hahaha..
Her fall from grace was in the original agreement....thecrest as they say " is history".
Love it
❤❤❤ Love Hitchcock
Lt.Hanley from combat..recognize that voice anywhere
Thelma ended up in the Outer Limits, getting chased by the Zanti Misfits! 🐜 🐜 🐜
it is not a mercy killing if the person didn't even ask you for it . even say "yes" if you asked them. it's you making that choice. murder. also poisoning is unmerciful for sure
Mrs. Mannenheim would have made a great Frau Blucher
Someone keeps replaying this on my stream
Hay!!! It’s T’Pow! She must be on a secret mission.
🖖🏼😄
What is the waitress real name. I've seen her in another Alfred Hitchcock hour episode. She is a great actress.
Olive Deering
didnt get the ending. so if anadyne was keeping the old lady alive, what could the waitress have done differently?
Not following your question. What she could have done differently was refuse to commit murder and leave the evil boyfriend.
I remember this actress from Star Trek! Kroika!
Good one
All they need to do is just contact Chip Saunders.
How is this only 11 minutes long?
It's a clip and not the full episode
Com certeza o filme é ótimo mas sem legenda em português!!!!
Ficaria ainda melhor, com legende em português! 👍🙏♥️
Verdade
Hahaha....good. Don't feel sorry for her one bit. Greed, self pity. You fit right in with today 2021.
"Just to be close to you?"
Rick Jason (Lt. Hanley) from "Combat."
tell him to hit the road
Hello Barbara, How are you doing?
Rick Jason from Combat! as the evil husband.
Boyfriend---very clearly stated---not husband.
On it for almost 6 months??! 😆😂
I'm not a child. I'm 38 years old. And I still can't tell a crumb bum deadbeat from adam
Onde está a legenda em português???
She was the mad one in the one about the baby
Oh, ya aren't gonna get old, too, lady? & discover how expensive "a home" is.
Very interesting 👌 story
If this was today they would have done a thorough investigation and found out she died via strangulation
Hitchcock... Master of Drama
the husband was hot, he was in alot of shows.....fab tv show: hitch
He was only her boyfriend, not her husband. He was the one who wanted the elderly woman dead so the waitress-girlfriend and he could get married (and he'd definitely kill her and live on the money she inherited!)
The expression she gave when she found out the medicine the Dr. Prescribed her was the Only thing keeping her alive. Her l00k was saying, I could of g0t rid of her s00ner.
Thelma !!
You shoulda used a pillow !!
we all get old, mean lady, hope u ended up alone,
What? I don't get it...
Lots of irony in this.
Show
Hope there will be a third part. His louse boyfriend nowhere to be seen.
If I remember the episode correctly, as soon as she was arrested he took off.
@@erikamarie5535 thank..go figure he was a total jerk.
Ha ha ha !!
Best
Again with the no credits and a completely anonymous cast! No credits, no cast list, no subscribe.
They're clips from 70 years ago---be glad you get to see them at all, and what difference does it make who played who? Every single person on the show is long dead!
Fair enough. I don't agree but truly appreciate very much the opportunity to see these.
Why are they only 11 minutes? Were the other 11 or so unnecessary?
Good! She was a truly dislikable person.
