"GOOD EVENING".
Each week from 1955 through 1962, famed film director, Alfred Hitchcock, stepped into his familiar silhouette and intoned his seemingly innocuous greeting, "Good Evening", before ushering us into his eponymous weekly TV production, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". An anthology of tales filled with mystery, suspense, intrigue, imagination and, of course, macabre, the series delivered consistently high quality scripts and was an early proving ground for many young writers, directors and actors.
First up in our presentation is "The Man From the South". Adapted from a short story by Roald Dahl and directed by Hitchcock protege, Norman ("St.Elsewhere") Lloyd, it stars a young Steve McQueen, his lovely wife, Neile Adams, that freaky force of nature, Peter Lorre, and features Steve's pinkie finger and trusty Zippo.
We hope you enjoyed this presentation and trust you will return when we do. Until then, "Good Evening".
