He was a truly great actor, and almost too good here. Instead of being a typical Hitchcock episode with a nasty/fun ironic twist at the end you can enjoy, his performance makes it much deeper, darker and (for me) genuinely disturbing
Brian's character thought since he was dying he would get away with the murder if Pops but then he learned the hard way that "Patience is a virtue" as if he had just waited as the warden said he could have gotten out.
Why don't they post the complete video instead of the 10-18min. snippets. Hickock is one of my favorite. I'd subscribe to any channel able to do that! 🙏🏼😳💯
@@bonniebester606 I know one of them. I know I should myob but although sad situation, my unasked for advice is stay away for your own well being. They never change
very WISE words at the beginning! Ps He wouldnt ve strangled the warden to death within one second or so Ps Two was this a morality tale, no, I don t think so What do YOU think..
Well, that seems kinda...unfair, if you ask me?!? He's innocent, they tried to kill an innocent man!! He had every right to defend his life from those who wanted to take it!! Even if he did kill one, he could have killed all of them, and still be innocent!! He was never guilty to begin with!!! Even the state is not above the law!!
Unfair? I don't think so! He wanted to play it tough until the end continuing that nonsense about not playing their game... Why didn't he simply sign the paper his lawyer requested and get additional time to uncover the witness? NO! he wanted to all angry, proud and defiant considering Pops the enemy!!! While I'm surprised they allowed the guard to die, he could've legally been justified had he assisted his attorney in his own defense!
Reality Check > The initial dialogue of Professor Herbert Morrison is correct. Unfortunately, the State, aka The System, and its controllers are above the law. THEY are exempt from arrest, detainment, prosecution and punishment. The Law Enforcement and Judiciary serve the interests of The System by blindly following orders in violation of their oaths, and they support Statism, which is a man-made ideology that protects the power elite individuals who own and control all governments and major corporations. Alfred Hitchcock is a master of sending a humanity-friendly, subversive message between the lines, so to speak, while making it seem like his films are "playing the game" on the surface so he doesn't get censored.
@@lrn_news9171 Yep. He could go for a diminished capacity/temporary insanity defense, I suppose.Together with the fact that he was wrongly imprisoned to begin with maybe he'd be lucky enough to get a life sentence instead of the gas chamber
The character is just stupid ! If he knew he didn't kill the girl , he should have allowed the lawyer to complete his investigation . This character is neither poetic or philosophical . He is just hateful !
Yeah, his philosophy is pretty inchoherent and morbid. He won't accept a stay that could help clear him, he insists on a pardon (which would imply guilt)? The impression I got is that he's so bitter (understandably) and so sure of his fate he wants to spread his negativity around
Holy cow! Uncle Bee-yill - on death row, and, what? he's a perfessor? What would Buffy say? Where was Mr French? And Uncle Bee-yill, strangling somebody? After watching this episode I had to go to counseling. Family Affair had me so misled.
Brian Keith. What an actor
The Brian blows away all of these so called actors today. You want subtlety you got it.
He was a truly great actor, and almost too good here. Instead of being a typical Hitchcock episode with a nasty/fun ironic twist at the end you can enjoy, his performance makes it much deeper, darker and (for me) genuinely disturbing
I think he more than redeemed himself when he gave a home to Cissy, Buffy and Jody.
Also Mr. French an Mrs.Beasley💖
Boring joke.
Providing you're not frightened of iron lungs, check out Keith in "No Pain."
Great episode

Uncle Bill must have turned state witness...he got a nice penthouse in NYC....traveled the world as a architect/engineer....3 kids and Mr. French!
How the hell did choking him for 5 seconds kill him?!! That is 🐂💩
That was a twist. Surprised it happened so fast

*No comprendí el final.*
Brian Keith looks like Chef Ramsey
The lawyer is Dan Rooney from General Hospital ❤️
He behaved stupid in the last moments , killing the guard!! This actor has wonderful voice!!
What more could they do to him; he had nothing to lose :)
Some days ya just can’t get a break 🤷🏽♀️
Is it Albert Finney ?? as the lawyer
Non
Good move
My Brother looks just like Brian Keith. He was a Straight A Student and #1 BMXer in Washington!
I haven't seen him in years...Yikes!
Give him a call or send him an email if you can find him.
@@Limerick502 it's Complicated...they don't really Care. It's Cruel!
He's been Officially Diagnosed Covert Narc...

Not how that works lol

Seems to me he wanted to die. End comes as no big surprise to me. Not a great one.
In real life Bryan Keith committed suicide.
Jo Higgins Yes, that's true. Interesting connection

Wtf
Moral of the story: Deep down no one is TRULY innocent. The nature of man is depraved and doesn't deserve a pardon but the sentence of death.
Death penalty, no matter why, is barbarian.
An ok show

What happened to the beginning of this Hitchcock?
One used to get the WHOLE episodes yrs ago
then UA-cam in their fucking wisdom... curtailed them,
