The Money

Larry (Robert Loggia) wants to marry his girlfriend, Angie, though you can see no reason why. She isn't beautiful, they argue horribly and she insists he must have a lot of money...or else. So, Larry gets a job with a mobster, Mr. Bregornick, and although the money initially isn't much, he hopes he'll soon be rolling in the dough. But when it doesn't happen fast enough, Larry decides to rob his boss...and, as I mentioned, the boss is a gangster and is not a guy you'd want to cross....meaning if he does it, Larry is an idiot!

This is a very weak episode...with a poor payoff. It seems more like the first half of an episode of "The Untouchables" and offers none of the irony or fun you'd associate with "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"....it also feels very incomplete and disappointing.

Pretty weak entry in the Hitchcock series, with a man trying to rob some money off an old friend of his father's, in order to please his money-hungry wife.

The wife's ranting about how much she loves money makes one wonder why doesn't the guy just leave her, because it's obvious she only shows affection for him when there are dollar signs.

The ending however isn't so bad, kind of a surprise really, but getting there was definitely a bit painful. There are worse episodes but plenty better than this one.

I expected better than this one. The portrait of a petty and cheap little crook - Loggia - and in this role he is purely perfect, nothing to say. However the plot is smooth, boring, flat an the ending is certainly not worth the watch. It is a forgettable episode, everything is missed here. From the beginning, after the first minutes, it shoud have been different.

Robert Loggia plays a guy who is going nowhere. He is hooked up with a greedy, money-grubbing woman. He manages to get a job with a man who knew his father, but honest work is never enough, so he plans to rob the guy. The ending has a little punch, but the story is pretty pedestrian.

I agree with the last reviewer, this episode has shades of THE UNTOUCHABLES. Also, if you're a movie buff, it's a slight take-off on the famous noir film, DETOUR. All about greed and money, and lots of it.

Robert Loggia plays a guy named Larry who needs cash and has a gal friend (Doris Dowling) who wants the Good Life. Yes, indeed. Lucky Larry goes to work for a friend of the family, Mr. Bregornick, played by Will Kuluva --who happens to have underworld ties. He hopes the old man will set him up with a good paying job, but it doesn't quite work that way.

Comes the question; Should Larry rob him?

Wait and see how the walls come tumbling down.

At least 9 Stars for a fine performance by Robert Loggia, who could tackle any type of role. The one to watch sweat it out. Doris Dowling is quite good, playing a noir-ish type girlfriend, veteran of many classic films. Will Kiluva is remembered for shows like MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.

One of Hitch's regular directors, Alan Crosland, Jr., does a terrific job with the three leads, in the tradition of his famous father.

See this one through.
