When someone rich dies on Hitchcock Presents, you just know the heirs will start scheming. Here it's brothers Paul (Hatfield) and Henri (Coolidge). So when old Aunt Rosalie inherits the dead uncle's fortune, nephew Paul charms his way into her home where the old lady lives alone with her cook. Trouble is she blossoms now that she's got convivial company. As a result, she may live another twenty years. So what will the clever brothers do now.
Hatfield's perfect as the elegantly grasping brother, while hawk-nose Coolidge, a Hitch favorite, sort of hangs unattractively around. There's pretty good suspense as we wonder how Paul will handle the situation. Then too, Natwick's Aunt Rosalie is no push-over, so Paul better figure out something good. Still, it's classic Hitch done with a lightly humorous touch (the talking parrot). So be prepared for a delicious slice of irony (no pun intended with the ending).
