Mr. Howgill wants a divorce from his wife. When she refuses to give him one, he hires a private eye to follow her in hope of finding evidence of adultery.
"A Secret Life" Dir. by Don Weis
James Howgill is bored with his life and his marriage and announces to his wife that he is leaving her. She tells him to do what he likes but that she will never grant him a divorce. In time, he takes up with an attractive young woman and decides to try to force the divorce issue with his wife. His lawyer however informs him that he has no grounds for a divorce and suggests that he hire a private detective to see if his wife may have taken up with another man. He agrees but is quite sure that it is not in his wife's character to carry on. Needless to say, he is astounded when the detective reports that his wife is dating and that a man has spent the night in their house. Howgill begins to see his wife in a new light and decides he wants her back. But just who is this woman that he has returned to?

The dialogues,the setup, the plot .. simply everything reinforcing why Hitchcock's work is timeless.
@Corno di Bassetto A fair point
However I was referring to Hitchcock's vision on general
You’re right, and he was a master at the understated - a true genius.
Sometimes the married man gives ya some nice jewelry 😂 😄
but gives the better jewelry to his wife.
What did she expect getting involved w a married man? It never works out for the mistress
It shouldn't, because "cheaters never prosper", but..... "Never say never" cos ya never know .... 4sure!? That mistress was in terrible distress & ya know how some men love 2 'save a damsel in distress'..... ;0}
I hate to mention this but since it’s a living subject might as well use it as solid proof that sometimes it does work for the right reasons. Ethan Hawke left Uma Thurman for the nanny and they married and he’s had more kids… still married. 🤷🏻♀️ I felt sorry for Uma because she’s a sweetheart but I guess sweethearts like her don’t get appreciated enough by men like her fo rmer husband.
@@hana.the.writer5074 it won’t last.
Dinner and dancing before being together was the dating ritual back in the day. Must see if your partner was good at ‘dancing’.
Dinner and dance is a romantic way to woo a lady
Good at dancing...that is kind of a litmus test.
The Third watch then?🤣😂🤣😂
Alfred had a good sense of humor he must. have been very smart I love his short stories 🎬
Hitchcock was a master of irony. Ronald Howard (son of actor Leslie Howard) doing a good job as a jealous hubby. And using a good American accent.
That was Ashley Wilkes' kid?? I'll be damned.
Why is everyone named Marsha?
Lol.....always a man wants what he thinks he can't have. Or the thought of his woman moving on with someone else....lol. It's happened to me .....but I never go backwards....only forward. Too bad, lol.
Wanting what you can't have is a two way street darling 😇
The investigator is Artie Johnson!
I noticed that too! A very young, Artie Johnson... Very interesting....but stupid! Lol! (a Laugh In reference)
@@karina-oh7826 If he'd rode in on a tricycle wearing a helmet, I'd have died!
Lol when I was a very young kid I was Artie Johnson's character from Laugh-In where he rode around on a tricycle in a yellow raincoat.
The husband is played by Ronald Howard who also played Sherlock Holmes in the '50's. More of a softwood pine than quality mahogany actor. A sort of poor man's George Saunders, but not bad.
That’s an interesting analogy, never heard it before but very clever
His father was the Scarlet Pimpernel who had wife problems too.
There was only ONE George Saunders, who was Mr. Irony itself.
“It’s your wife” .. “Yes. Why does she have to be so difficult..” 😜
THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD ONE.
The lean in at 9:05 -9:20, conveying the intensity of interest, was flawless. Wonder if that was directed or natural by Howard.
He should be divorced on the grounds of that ideous suit.
Right off the rack, the drapes and carpet rack!
Lol! When your hubby needs you to be an undercover freak....😏
Such a great story teller! I miss these!
I love Basil Rathbone! ❤️🙏 (Original Sherlock Holmes)
Great need more full episodes
Everything was grand
Ha ha. How cute. Very sweet. A marriage reunited. And his girlfriend was shallow anyway! His wife loves him.
Haha true:) ...However, although it worked out well, I think his wife could have done better than him.
Yes it is!! …❤️
Bates appears to be an actor named Artie Johnson, who went on to be a major player in the TV comedy show with Rowan and Martin ‘Laugh in’ in the early 70’s. This episode appears to be from around 1964-5 .
Please let us know.
no it had to be earlier than 64. because this is a 1/2 episode and Hitchcock was an Hour by 64.
"Arte"
@@alpha-omega2362, these are "Presents" Originally 1/2 hour, but have been sliced to 1/4 hour! I think to avoid copyright and/or YT rules. Pffft, I know!
The ending leaves me suspicious of the husbands possible change of heart. Maybe Hitchcock should of let only the viewers in on the twist.
"Maybe Hitchcock should of let only the viewers in on the twist."
Oh, I like that idea! That would have been even more fun!
He was just caught off guard, and seemed to have found the situation humorous.
Yes me too
I think we all got the ending of this, we just don’t like it lol the husband fell in love with his wife again because he thought he almost lost her and when he fought out she’s been waiting the whole time and there no competition he lost interest
Said it before and I'll say it again, the only time the story of the mistress ever works out is when she knows not to expect too much from it.
like the song "Sad Eyes" ..turn the other way, I don't want to see you cry..." ?
agenttheater5 spoken like a typical man
@@bodnica I'm a woman. I know that there have been cases where the second marriage has worked where the first one hasn't. And that some people are happier in a sable relationship that doesn't include being married to each other.
@jazinegrrrl Mary Boleyn was Henry VIII's mistress and she got swept under the rug. Anne Boleyn was Henry's mistress and she became queen - then she couldn't give him a son so she was killed. Both got treated badly but Anne underestimated the game she was playing and payed way too heavy a price for it. Still, Henry ended up fat and a tyrant so at least he paid some price.
Look at Wallis Simpson. Letters found recently show she tried to end it & he threatened suicide. She still had feelings for her husband, but he'd moved on .
Awesome!
Ha Haaaah! SPOT ON!😉👍👏👏 Okay ladies anyone besides me drooling over that coat?... women dressed so classy and feminine back then.
That coat was probably over a thousand bucks even then!
A friend gave me a beautiful faux fur "fox" coat similar to that, but I'm almost afraid to wear it because it looks too real! I live in S. California, folks who wear real fur get piss and paint thrown on them. I think it was after an unpleasant "encounter" with an activist that she decided to give the coat to me. I don't go anywhere "fancy", so I only wear it visiting friends.
It caught my eye immediately!
I don't think a fir coat is as classy or lady-like as kindness, grace & humility in good looking woman. I'd rather live in a warmer place, save the animals, and let the materialistic bimbos die for those firs, instead!?
Yes! Back when people actually wore CLOTHES.
Now, it's all tee shirts and jeans. 😖
@@daisyq3418 lol I wasn't aware that t-shirts and jeans aren't considered clothes...?
This was a great episode Alfred Hitchcock lives right up to his movies thanks for sharing this episode 👍🇺🇸
Why only half of the show?
Who knew Artie Johnson was such a Cutie?
👍👌👏 Thank you very much for uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
I like these little clips. They get straight to the meat and potatoes of the story. I have the attention span of a millennial chihuahua puppy and couldn't sit still long enough to make it thru an hour long AH story. (Sad to say) This tho? Now this I can get with! Plus I can play Best Fiends while watching these little great stories at the same time. I'm such a millennial. Smh 😂
These episodes were only 30 minutes
@Corey… yes 👏 YOU really are living your 🫵🏻 best life. Thank goodness you will never have to go to war! 🎉 WOW I wish I was YOU… 🫤lol 😅
I like the music 🤗🤗
Estelle was rockin' that outfit!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Loved this one!
Luv the music to these gems.
Love her outfit with mid drift!!!!
I said the same!😍
I love it!!!
Ronald Howard who played Sherlock Holmes.
Verrrrrrryy Interrrrrestink!
Butt not sow werrry schmardt.
9:33, he's using the word "gay" in the way in which it has been historically used, until the modern.society which now refers it to being a homosexual!
Uh, No, the word gay has always ment being sexually attracted to another man.
Stevie no it hasn’t guy, you’d better go back in time to see that the word “gay” was normally used to mean ‘merry, lively, vibrant,happy, etc”. (Websters Dictionary) Even in this Hitchcock episode it’s used that way, and this was produced around 1959. It’s only in the 1970’s did this biblical word take on the licentious, perverted meaning that it is known by today!
@@McIntyreBible um, yes it had, go back to your perverted, superfluous nonsense
@@sillygoose635 "Now we don our gay apparel -- Fa la la, fa la la, la la la."
Yes, I'm sure that old traditional Christmas carol is referring to people dressing up in flamboyant attire.
from Wikipedia:
Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to mean "carefree", "cheerful", or "bright and showy".
The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the mid-20th century.
So, Stevie, I think YOU are the one who should "go back to your perverted, superfluous nonsense."
@@CZcamsallowedmynametobestolen Nah, Pegasus, i think YOU need to take your own advice.
Loved the Hitchcock twist in the end !
Cool shows
So why can’t you publish the date of this episode and the actors’ names, hummm?
It is important to many many of your viewers of these vintage films, please add these important facts in your descriptions.
Brand Account I followed the information in the description box.
A secret life - 1961 Ronald Howard, Mary Murphy, Patricia Donahue, Arte Johnson, Addison Richards.
You’re welcome.
If some is good enough to download a film. play or even an excerpt and information is missing for whatever reason why cant the person who would like said information use google to find it for themselves?
Do it yourself.
LOL! I like the wife better anyway...
I like the wife, too. You see, I am not into same sex
The wife deserves better
Some guys don't treat you right until they see another guy interested. Crazy
The houses always look grand
The ending…Made me smile.
That was a CUTE ONE 💘
Sylvia Lawson Agreed 😇
Clever
7love this show
I would never divorce my wife for a woman like her.
Lol so if it was a woman of your type would you leave your wife?
I enjoyed this pleasant short film. It was nice that the twist was no murder. Some men like the chase. He found his wife more captivating thinking she was desired by others. It was a sweet short film. I was initially nervous thinking someone might get hurt.
These are not short films, they are edited episodes of a tv show
9:52 - 9:57 The wife shocked reaction when he kissed her and 9:57 - 10:00 she's out of breath. Good acting !
He doesn’t want me , he only wants me he just wants to continue hurting me and exploiting me.
Is the actor ( Bates ) with the glasses was on laugh in
Yes, he was on Laugh-in. He is the actor Arte Johnson.
Rest In Peace Arte Johnson only passed away a few weeks ago
Yes.
@@dparks3784, he was more known as a comic actor, played the "Neo- nazi" in The Blues Brothers
@@michaelwertzy9808 That was Henry Gibson, but they were kind of similar actors
That suit is disgraceful
Who knew 🤣
✋🏻😄😄
Very nice…
I've always been a Patricia Donahue man myself.
That detective was on Laugh In t.v. show.
Why Mr Howgill seems the same person playing Sherlock Holmes i.e. Ronald Howard to me? May be I am wrong.
Yes , that is him Ronald Howard. I believe he was the brother of Leslie Howard (Gone with the Wind) who disappeared during WWII.
Alpha-Omega
I think that Ronald Howard was the son of Leslie.
@@EYE_GOTCHA I stand corrected. Thanks.
I love how these old tv shows have 60 year old men pairing up with 25 year old women.
Sorry I don't eat yougurt
Bates is the guy from laugh in. whats his name.
I basically think no one deserves to have a cheating spouse. Trust is like a crystal glass that once it’s broken,it’s hard to fix them.. That’s why it’s important to apply wisdom when dealing with our partners... Last week I suspected my husband cheating on me, a friend recommended a hacker to me I contacted him and he helped me get cheating proves by helping me hack his phone giving me full access to everything he does on his phone... I got access to all his phone call logs, Text messages, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Kik, Emails, Social media chats (both old and new) without looking at his phone... if you suspect your spouse cheating on you, just contact this great hacker via text/whatsapp or call him +1 (908) 799‑8357 , or via mail (cyberprohack100@gmail.com). His services are very trusted and guaranteed and also affordable, I can’t thank him enough. I hope you find peace of mind just like I have found after discovering the truth As the saying goes,what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
It is painfully obvious that the husband CANNOT DANCE! So why would Hitchcock insist on forcing the audience to watch him struggle through his awkward rhythm free efforts?
Smile! I actually thought the same thing. 😅
Point to show he was not as smooth operator as he thought of him self.
Wifeski Marjorie, played by Patricia Donahue did a great job. But Phyllis Diller would have been better............
Creepy. This dude's turned on by his wife being with other men.
He's competitive, that's all.
Jealously and arousal are not the same thing.
That's why we have two different words for them.
;-)
@@hopemccubbin8661 That's not all, not in the slightest. He's turned on when he thinks his wife has been with another man. It's gets him excited, and he's disappointed when he learns she wasn't. It's creepy. I don't know why you're defending this perversion.
Who still watching this in the end of 2023😊
Sweet. As a friend pointed out, this illustrates psychoanalyst Lacan's "lost object A". "The objet a is both the void, the gap, and whatever object momentarily comes to fill that gap in our symbolic reality. What is important to keep in mind here is that the objet a is not the object itself but the function of masking the lack."
So, where's the vampyre???
But i remember we used to love the monologs by the man hiself, even the introductory music is missing ...... this is entertaining but it is like some one took a famous rock song and deletet the opening guitar riff or the drum solo. this a crime against art. WTF if you are going to post an alfred hitchcocks presents. DON"T BUTCHER IT LIKE THIS PLEASE.
shut the hell up.
john gillon I don't think this series is yet public domain. Some say it is but from what I can tell it isn't and there is only one episode that is. A new law went into effect in 1978 where tv could extend their copyright for 47 years which makes it public domain in 2025. It's what I got from my quick research but I'm definitely not an expert on this. But it makes no sense why this channel would go to trouble of editing if law allowed the full length to be shown for free. And this channel from I can tell keeps it down to under 13 minutes which is what I've noticed people who post copyrighted material often do...I'm not an uploader so I'm just trying to figure it out myself too. Not sure why the channel doesn't defend actions with all the comments they get about it. Perhaps it's too much trouble now and they didn't know they would get the negative comments.
Lucky 🍀 little man liar… the clover isn’t GREENER anywhere but HOME!!! 💋❤
