I used to watch Alfred Hitchcock Presents as a kid. It was fun to watch this episode. Where in the world did you dig this episode up from? I would like to watch more.

The Rifleman: Season 1, Episode 10
New Orleans Menace (2 Dec. 1958)

I know the freedom argument has taken a lot of twists, but I wonder if I saw this before I knew it was shaping my opinions, long time ago.

the episode name is:

Conversation Over a Corpse (1956)

From: Alfred Hitchcock Presents (TV Series)

As someone else pointed out it is also available on Netflix, and it looks like it might be on Hulu.

Basically a fella shows up to take the house of these two little ladies and, well, he doesn't.


Worth seeking out, I think.
