Synopsis

The master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, was as prolific as he was brilliant, producing not only dozens of award-winning films, but also a few excellent television series. Alfred Hitchcock Presents was arguably the best of his small-screen triumphs. Hosted by the man himself, the series offered viewers short dramatized stories on a weekly basis, mixing the genres of horror, drama, suspense, and fantasy. Series two is collected here in its entirety and features guest stars Rip Torn, Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Vic Morrow, and others.

Format:DVD
This is way before my time but when a programme is this good it matters not. I used to watch this sometime in the 1980's with my Dad and it was one of my favourite programmes at the time but it wasn't this series, it was the later series called New Alfred Hitchcock Presents because I can remember it being in colour, but anyway the presentation and music (very uplifting for something so dark) was exactly the same as this. Although I can't really remember all of the stories from those colour episodes, there was one in particular that involved somebody accidentally being buried alive after a plan went wrong and it put me off ever wanting to be buried when I die.

I love the way this series is presented by Alfred Hitchcock, he was a national treasure and I particularly like his witty remarks before and after each episode I really hope they release every series of this on DVD, it would be a tragedy if it wasn't. Just like the first series there are 39 episodes at roughly 23 minutes each and a good variety of stories all with some kind of twist at the end. I don't think that this is as well known as say for example The Twilight Zone (another classic that as aged beautifully) or to younger people like myself, but if you like that and anything similar, then even at over fifty years old (and as I have already mentioned this is way before my time) I would recommend this classic programme to anyone.

One last thing that I must mention is that if you own the first series of this on DVD, then you will know that the style of packaging is done in the book style, just thought you might be interested to know that the design of this second series boxset is different, it is the thin separate cases style, I personally prefer this particular style as you can take one out of the box at a time and it also takes up less space. I own some other universal playback DVD boxsets and for some reason they seem to have a habit of changing the design on separate series of whichever programme it is, anyway like I said, just thought you might be interested to know this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent TV Show by the Master of Suspense 30 July 2010
Format:DVD
If you are a fan of Alfred Hitchcock's movies then you will love the TV show which aired at the height of his powers, back in the 1950s. Each episode is a production of a play or short story from the time, and developed by Hitch and feels like one of his movies! One of the highlights of the show is Hitchcock's droll sense of humour and constant references to the sponsors. I urge all Hitchcock fans, in fact all fans of mystery and suspense, to buy this product (start off with season 1 to do justice to this wonderful series).

2.0 out of 5 stars Last disk scratched 7 May 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The content is as good as I expoected, but it wasn't until a few weeks after delivery that I noticed that the last DVD of the set has a long scratch which interferes with two eposides.
