Premonition

A man (John Forsythe) returning to his home town finds his father has died, and suspects his friends are covering up the true details of that death. A strong performance from John Forsythe ( he's quite intense and desperate) and some atmosphere lifts this entry above average, and the twist is good, but some of the revelation regarding Forsythe can be unsatisfactory, lacking detail.

I enjoyed the investigations. The way that everybody lying want us to know all the truth and why people lied on his supposed dead of the guy's father. Its intriguing as it started and we make theories until the end and we just wait the end to know the truth. The twist at the end let us speechlees and that was pretty surprising and unexpected.

This second episode is a bit bland, as any other suspense story. The plot not that exciting nor interesting, and only the ending is worth the watch. I am a bit tough with this episode, especially after the first amazing episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. But don't misunderstand what I mean here. It is a good episode if you forget the first one. And also keep in mind that the several hundred episodes to come will be, for most of them, far more exciting than this one. I did not feel that much concerned with this investigation, the man seeking the reasons why and how hid old man died. No, I did not feel that concerned.

Good episode throughout. Doesn't exactly drawl you in but doesn't bore either.

John Forsythe, the beloved TV star, landed the lead role in Hitchcock's classic "The Trouble with Harry", and the same year he gives an outstanding performance in this perplexing and deeply satisfying TV mystery for Hitch.

The director Robert Stevens was responsible for the great mystery series "Suspense", and keeps the viewer guessing here as Forsythe narrates (in compelling tones) his strange story of a return home after years in Europe to find everyone hiding something from him. His quest to discover the truth about his father's death leads him to violent outbursts, until his sister-in-law Cloris Leachman finally gives him the crushing reveal.

Written by Harold Swanton, the show is brilliantly simple, exploring the familiar theme of so many horror movies (so-called "return of the repressed") without the gimmickry or sensationalism usually associated with that genre. Forsythe's acting says it all.
