Very high quality episode. Mark Damon plays Ray Clemens a guy with revenge in his heart looking to kill the man who killed his father in off all places a monastery.
Clemens is told by Father Vincente, the head monk to not do the deed and to think about what he is about to do.
I don't think the principle is the same as the Revenge episode with Vera Miles. While both episodes do have revenge as plot, there a couple of notable difference. The revenge episode with Vera was more about blinded by rage and vengeance that you'll attack anyone to appease your anger.
Here Ray knows the guy who killed his father. The guy who kills his father admits his guilty and tries to make up for it. The difference then between both stories is that a bit of a forgiveness story, the other one is not. Obviously this story within a monastery is the perfect setting for such a thing. Of course whether you believe that Clemens would have reacted the way he did at the end is another story.
Nice performances by Mark Damon, and Everett Sloane.
The twist and ending do feel a bit tacked on for sure, but it's still a great episode.moreless

(Opening narration) Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening and thank you for allowing me to come into your living rooms. Well, I'm not easily shocked, but I did expect people to dress a bit more formally before sitting in front of their sets. Now that two way television is here. Apparently, not everyone was aware of the incessant march of progress. The next improvement should be more to your liking. I understand that scientists will soon make it possible for any object thrown at the television screen to actually hit the performer. All of which reminds me of a story.

(Closing narration) Alfred Hitchcock: Well, That was a bit of a snapper. wasn't it? The murder on tonight's program was, as usual, completely unrehearsed. In fact, we hadn't planned on having a killing at all. Our story was intended to be about a man found guilty of parking in front of a policeman. But the actors seem to have gotten out of hand. There they go again. a wild, unruly lot, those actors. I hope we have some of them left when we return with our next play, because ah... we'd be some what handicapped without actors. Until then, good night.
