In the first season of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", Hurd Hatfield starred in an episode called "The Perfect Murder". In it, he and his brother are upset that their aunt inherits money that they feel is rightfully theirs....so they plan on murdering her (Mildred Natwick). Here in season two in "None Are So Blind", the plot is VERY similar and the aunt is played by a different Mildred...Mildred Dunnock.
When the episode begins, you learn that Seymour (Hatfield) did not inherit his father's estate and instead this aunt (Dunnock) did. The reason is that Seymour is very vain, lazy and irresponsible and he'd likely blow through the money in short order. Of course, he will likely inherit this upon the death of his aunt....and he then concocts a complicated plan to do away with her.
The twist at the end seemed,...well...kind of silly. I loved Hatfield's acting...but the twist just seemed poor...at best. This and the similarity of the two episodes (too much) are why I only score this one a 5.
