      hebneh, You are soooooo right! Have you ever seen Mary Wickes with Gertrude Berg in "Mrs. G. Goes to College"? WONDERFUL! Loved her in "White Christmas" of course as well as "The Christmas Gift" with John Denver....Rosemary Clooney said she was a wonderful gal.... Don't make 'em like those gals anymore!

    Thelma Ritter was a wonderful actress. Only those who appreciate good acting noticed her talent. She often got nominated for an Academy award but never nailed one cause of other as-good-as-her competitors. I love watching anything she's in it. She reminds me of one like her still present to date, Sally Field, only Sally won herself 2 Oscars +
    another 43 wins & 80 nominations wiki says to be presice. 😁

      Ruby Tuesday... you are absolutely right! What bugs me the most is that she was "Uncredited" in movie "Letter to Three Wives" and she had a fairly big role in that. And she was hilarious! Her typical Thelma Ritter self. Disgraceful that she received no credit for that role! I found that out when TCM aired the movie about a month ago. Ben M. Was giving the backstory and mentioned it.

    Hitchcock's favorite TV director, Robert Stevens had a flair for the half hour playlet and knew how to put in a LOT of Hitchcock touches. Note the accent on food, desserts, malted milk and at the end Thelma Ritter with a sappy romance novel and a plate of gnawed chicken bones by her.

    She writes a letter to the father and tells him how much she cares for him. The guy shows up and knocked at the door. She shows him the letter and as he reads it , the guy takes out a cigarette lighter and burns the letter. She says "Why did you do that"? The guy smiles at her and starts moving towards her. She says "No! " "No"! Mr. Nash starts strangling her. "Noooooarrrrghhhhhhhh!" The scene fades out and Alfred Hitchcock said the police apprehended Mr. Nash.
