Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Museum Piece (1961)
Season 6, Episode 25
1/10
A rare misfire
1 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The only compelling thing about this episode is seeing Ed Platt, the Chief from Get Smart, with hair.

Nothing works otherwise. The characters are unlikable which admittedly is not unusual for the show, but poor writing a complete lack of logic sink the episode.

I've seen the episode twice and for the life of me I just don't see what the Dad's beef is with the D. A. As far as I can tell Ed Platt's character is just doing his job. He's professional from start to finish and doesn't seem to have any sort of political agenda. I don't know that he had a whole lot of choice but to prosecute the kid.

If anyone in the movie has a legitimate beef, it is the D. A.'s office who have to put up with incompetent law enforcement who can't seem to solve the mysterious disappearances of the head D. A. and the detective. Even after the Detective goes to the museum on behalf on an official investigation and nobody connects his disappearance with the sudden appearance of yet another skeleton.

And, who would want to go to that museum anyway?

Skip this episode.

Who exactly would go to Dad's creepy museum?

And.
