Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Santa Claus and the Tenth Avenue Kid (1955) (TV)

Synopsis: A paroled convict is employed as a store Santa Claus.

Appraisal: The tone is considerably lightened here, in the spirit of the holiday it evokes; every episode but one so far has a little surprise or twist; in this one, it consists of a witty remark at the end. Bad Santa (2003) has some similarities with it.
