"The Right Kind of House" is a Hitchcock gem. Actually, this is a duel between two superb actors;
Jeanette Nolan and Robert Emhardt (a series regular in some other over the top roles). All you have to do is watch.
Emhardt plays easy going, but slippery country gentleman Mr. Waterbury, who is looking for a nice house to retire and call home. OK? Nolan is the owner of that house, but wants a fortune for it --which Waterbury is willing to pay. The question is why?? --without giving too much away...
Although you may have guessed at this point that there's something worth his while stashed under the floorboards. The ending is an absolute knock-out, an excellent two character cat and mouse story if there ever was one. Credit writer Robert C. Dennis, who also did much work for PERRY MASON. And doesn't this start out like a Perry Mason mystery?
Jeanette Nolan, long in westerns, was one of the most popular actresses on tv and this particular episode shows why. Well directed by Don Taylor, one of the best at his craft. As always, Hitch has the last laugh.
By the way. The asking price for the shack is $50,000, worth today about 520,000 dollars!
SEASON 3 remastered CBS dvd box set. 5 dvd set. 2007 release.
