"The Hidden Thing" is a rarity for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" reviews....most of them are negative or very negative. Is it as bad as they say?
When the show begins, you see a young man and his fiance. They are in love and looking forward to a life together. But when they stop for a bite to eat, some maniac runs over and kills the lady...leaving her fiance an emotional wreck...which is no surprise. Soon after, a man arrives at his house...telling him he can help him relive the day of the accident and help him to remember the license plate number of the vehicle.
While I didn't hate this episode....I sure didn't like it! And, the twist at the end, I agree, isn't great. A poorly written episode, as it had a great set-up but the twist at the end just didn't satisfy.
