Sunday, Oct. 25 - Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Momentum & The Twilight Zone: Spur of the Moment & Lloyds of London

Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season 1, Episode 39 Momentum (24 Jun. 1956)

Richard Paine decides to steal money from his former boss that he is owes him anyway, and it turns to an unnecessary and ironic murder.

The Twilight Zone: Season 5, Episode 21 Spur of the Moment (21 Feb. 1964)

While out horseback riding on June 13, 1939, 18 year-old Anne Henderson comes across another rider, a middle-aged woman dressed in black, who chases after her. She's terrified and races home. It's the day of her engagement party. She's supposed to marry Robert Blake but childhood friend David Mitchell wants her to break it off and marry him instead. As for the woman in black, she is someone who knows Anne quite well.

Lloyd's of London (1936)

Jonathan Blake (Tyrone Power) becomes a waiter at Lloyd's Coffee House in the early days of the shipping insurance firm Lloyd's of London. Determined to climb high, he joins a Lloyd's syndicate and becomes rich and successful. A romance with the wife (Madeleine Carroll) of a brusque aristocrat (let's not forget George Sanders) ensues, ending in a climactic duel at the height of the Napoleonic Wars. Finding his childhood friend, Lord Nelson, in charge of the naval fleet, Blake acts to help win the Battle of Trafalgar. Only there wasn't a duel, and he knew about his childhood friend's position all along. Who writes this nonsense?
