Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Money (1960)
Season 6, Episode 9
4/10
A good actor...a sub-par script.
14 April 2021
Larry (Robert Loggia) wants to marry his girlfriend, Angie, though you can see no reason why. She isn't beautiful, they argue horribly and she insists he must have a lot of money...or else. So, Larry gets a job with a mobster, Mr. Bregornick, and although the money initially isn't much, he hopes he'll soon be rolling in the dough. But when it doesn't happen fast enough, Larry decides to rob his boss...and, as I mentioned, the boss is a gangster and is not a guy you'd want to cross....meaning if he does it, Larry is an idiot!

This is a very weak episode...with a poor payoff. It seems more like the first half of an episode of "The Untouchables" and offers none of the irony or fun you'd associate with "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"....it also feels very incomplete and disappointing.
