![]() ![]() Therefore, it’s the kind of top list that could change all the time. I know that’s not a lot compared to the total number of episodes, but it’s a start. – I’ve included 15 episodes on my list and, according to my calculation, I have seen around 24 of them. However, I haven’t included any episodes of the 1985 revival. But, other than that, it pretty much was the same concept. – I have decided to mix both Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour episodes because there wasn’t many differences between the two except the length of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour that gave place to more story development. So, it’s very subjective, and our tastes might differ. – As always, this is a list of FAVOURITES and not of what I could objectively consider the best. As a matter of fact, the first screenplay I wrote for school, a ten-minutes dark comedy entitled The Crystal Garden, was very Hitchcockian and probably could have worked well for the series!īefore going further, I would like to give a few precisions: One of the aspects I perfectly like about this series is that its anthology format and short running time give place to stories that are great inspirations for screenwriters and for the development of short but efficient stories. Among them, we can think of Diana Dors, Bette Davis, Roger Moore, John Cassavetes, Claire Trevor, etc. The TV show also gave the occasion to audiences to see major stars appeared in the Hitchcock world while they hadn’t been in any of his films. Although Hitchcock created the series, produced it and hosted it, several people were behind the direction of the episodes: Paul Henreid, Arthur Hiller, Don Taylor, Ida Lupino, Norma Lloyd, Robert Stevens and, of course, Hitchcock himself. ![]() Each episode was introduced by Hitchcock himself in comical mise-en-scènes sparkled with dark humour. In 1962, the series changed its name for The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and the running time was then of around 50 minutes instead of 30. It’s hard to know where to begin sometimes.Īlfred Hitchcock Presents was an anthology series that was aired on BBC and NBC channels between 19. I thought I’d now remedy to that by precisely presenting you a top list of my favourite Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes! Hopefully, this will be a fun article and will help you choose what to watch because there are so many of them. ![]() I didn’t find the time on Friday to blog about him because I went downtown. As you know, he’s my favourite movie director, and I’m always inspired to blog about him on all kind of subjects, including very unexpected topics. Since I have seen 49 of his films- including the short war propaganda film The Fighting Generation (1944) – and wasn’t so much in the mood to watch Juno and the Paycock (1930)… I’ve decided to celebrate the day by watching more Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes because I knew it was hard to go wrong with that. ![]() The British director, born on August 13, 1899, undeniably had one of the most prolific careers in the entertainment industry and revolutionized the art of films forever. Last Friday, some film buffs like me honoured what would have been Alfred Hitchcock’s 121st birthday. ![]()
