Many people understandably dislike the tiresome "crime does not pay" epilogues on this show. I ignore these epilogues since they often spoil the fun of the episode, or dilute the twist. These objectionable epilogues are not Hitchcock's idea, it was the Hays Code in force at the time for making movies and television shows: all criminal action had to be punished, and neither the crime nor the criminal could elicit sympathy from the audience, or the audience must at least be made aware that such behavior is wrong, usually through "compensating moral value."

I'm sure Hitch didn't like it any more than we do.

I can understand why some people might not appreciate this, it's not for all tastes, but I found it absorbing and hypnotic - - lovely, subtle, wise. Everybody counts.

Krasinski is missed, and it lacks much of the freshness of the original, but it is definitely worth watching, and it's great to back in theaters again. :)
