The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: A Tangled Web (1963)

She married a 'fixer upper'...and there are no surprises here.

When the story begins, David (Robert Redford) is making out with the family maid, Marie. His mother catches them and fires the maid on the spot. Impulsively, David asks Marie to marry him and the mother tosses them both out of the house. You soon realize why...as David is a sociopath. He is a career criminal (despite having a rich family) and has outbursts of violence. Despite quite a few warning signs, Marie does marry him with the hope of reforming him.

I really could not see the point of this episode. The lady marries a dirtbag and by the end he's still a dirtbag....no twist, no suspense whatsoever. None. It felt nothing like an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" nor "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour". Not engaging and indifferently written.
