You will never see people that polite again.

This story shows how TV and the film industry was instructive in the moral decline in the sixties, that a teacher who was genuinely concerned for a pupil she was fond of, and wanting to warn her she was heading down a wrong path, ends up being punished and humiliated. A “let’s stone an old lady and feel righteous about it” ending.

The neighbor is a scoundrel and the student is even worse. The teacher got trapped between two horrible beings.

[hebneh]

That was kind of odd - the innocent, concerned teacher gets unjustly punished.

[SuperCHERISHED]

The school teacher should never had included the neighbor in her research. I understand how she wanted to make sure the student was not being taken advantage of. The school teacher did not know the character of the neighbor.

Horrifying, how sometimes things may turn against you in a blink of an eye and you stand weak in every which way you try to proove your innocence. Can't say had an experience similar to that but.. close.

[stargazerlilly]

The moral of the story is mind your own business and don’t share your private affairs with nosey neighbors who talk too much.

[ronlawrence]

Sounds like a good teacher got railroaded. You can just feel the innocence, efficiency, integrity of the era in these old shows. Today the kids would be making out in the halls, trash would be everywhere . The woman would’ve called the cops on the nosy neighbor for being a pervert and the teacher would be stocking the girl for an affair not to stop one.

I SEE SOME PEOPLE HAVE AN ISSUE ABOUT ME TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
IF THEY DIDN'T SEE MY NOTICE I PUT UP BEFORE, AM DOING IT AGAIN.
AM NOT YELLING.
SO HERE GOES.
I TYPE IN LARGE PRINT BECAUSE AM BLIND IN ONE EYE & CAN'T HARDLY SEE OUT THE OTHER.
THIS SUCKS BIG FOR ME.
HOPE YOU NEVER LOSE YOUR EYE SIGHT.
SO STOP COMPLAINING.
NOW YOU KNOW.

Wendy Hiller! Fantastic. Hitchcock knew how to cast.

[SagesseNoir]

Ten dollars for a book.. Awful expensive in the 1960s

[countdownxstacy]

This looks like a really good one.
I’ll need to look for the full episode.

[brendapaddlety]

I love watching these Alfred Hitchcock episodes.Thank you. 👏💖

[catladyoftroyn.y.]

Oh snap! Please post the rest of this episode!!

[RETROGEMS]

That disgusting man! He got poor Laura punished for something she wasn't even THINKING of doing to her student and friend, and got the girl's mother in a dangerous condition because of his actions. What's the moral of this story? Mind one's own business? Laura's only mistake was talking too much and letting this guy know what was up. But she couldn't have known that she was dealing with a morally repugnant slug. Ugh. I feel terrible for Laura. She really didn't deserve that...she was a caring, intelligent woman. Makes me wonder why the tale ended like that.

[jasonlindsey]

Disturbing episode. Very well done. Hiller is at her best.

[gamingwithmax]

So basically the whole episode premise (if I remember correctly) was the new foreign literature teacher trying to become friends with her students, She succeeds but she finds out that one of her students is going out with shady people and shady places.
She decided to tell a man who is her next-door neighbor in her apartment building about the situation however it turns out that the man decided to make a ransom note to the girls mother and because of this he was taken by the police and he told the police that she was his accomplice so because of that the next day when she goes to work the girl who is going to the shady place it’s right to a note saying that because it is her mother is in critical condition at the hospital and can’t look at her in the same way, and eventually get all the girls in the class to look at her with spite and hate while the police get there.
That’s all I remember from the episode

[DraGnFly]

Now a days, teachers are expected to be more than educators. Families are in crisis which bleeds into a classroom crisis.
