SPECIAL FEATURES:

ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS:
A LOOK BACK:

With input from Patricia Hitchcock, Hilton A. Green(AD),
Norman Lloyd(Producer, Director and Actor)!!

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Truly a classic, this long-running TV series(1955-65)
was way ahead of its time. Its host, Alfred Hitchcock
presented stories in this weekly, half-hour dramatic/
suspense anthology that virtually no other program
would even dream of presenting. Like many of Hitch's
films, the stories presented frequently dealt with
murder and deception, sometimes on a humerous level.
Anyone expecting the show to end with the conventional
happy ending would fare better to tune into another
television program. In addition to hosting the show,
Hitchcock directed several episodes of the series
as well. - verna55
