Trivia:
Walt Disney refused to allow Alfred Hitchcock to film at Disneyland in the early 1960s because Hitchcock had made "that disgusting movie Psycho (1960)”. Hitchcock's intended project is unidentified at this time, but it may have been for an episode of his TV series. moreQuotes:
[Hitchcock arrives for his introduction dressed in a safari outfit and pith helmet]Himself - Host: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to darkest Hollywood. Night brings a stillness to the jungle. It is so quiet, you can hear a name drop. The savage beasts have already begun gathering at the water holes to quench their thirst. Now one should be especially alert. The vicious table-hopper is on the prowl, and the spotted back-biter may lurk behind a potted palm. To take me through this most savage of lands, I have hired a native guide.

Thanks to the member who answered my inquiry of long ago. This particular episode has always been my favorite; "Arthur" and "Party Line" rank as highly. I've always loved Laurence Harvey's work; he was the perfect choice as the chicken farmer. "Unlocked Window" is the one that always stuck in my mind; how much it frightened me back then, and still does. When "Betty" removes her wig, and speaks in his real voice, oh!!! That visual!!
Hitchcock was and still is the master of suspense and mayhem; no one can keep me in awe in such an elegant and classy manner, while frightening me at the same time! The black and white episodes especially convey his sense of the macabre; I always remove the color from ALL of the more recent ones, adds to the ambiance.
No one compares--DA Dun, DA-DA-DA-DA DA-DA!
