5.0 out of 5 stars RE: An Unlocked Window, July 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Alfred Hitchcock Presents [VHS] (VHS Tape)

To Beverly Ann Cameron, who wanted to know how to get the episode
called "An Unlocked Window".

I saw it as a child and remembered it vividly after many years. It is indeed scary. I purchased a copy recently from a internet video site called Finders Keepers, http://www.finderskeepersvideos.com

Click on the retro-tv button to find the listing. They have both
DVD and VHS. It's well worth having.

3.0 out of 5 stars From the Master's Desk, January 27, 2000

This review is from: Alfred Hitchcock Presents [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is a selection of four episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" that have to do with the issue of gambling. The First Episode is "A DIP IN THE POOL" and is about a man played by Keenan Wynn who is obsessed with gambling, and when one of his bets appears to be in trouble he feels that he must take drastic steps to secure it. The Second Episode is "THE HORSE PLAYER" which tells the story of a priest at a struggling parish who has his beliefs about gambling tested by a new member of his congregation. The third episode is "MAN FROM THE SOUTH." When a strange little man challenges Steve McQueen's character to a little wager, Mc Queen may stand to lose something that he has "grown very attached to." Finally this video rounds out with "MRS. BIXBY AND THE COLONEL'S COAT." When the title character receives an expensive gift she is faced with sneaking it into the house without her husband asking any questions. Over all it was a good video. For anyone that is not acquainted with Hitchcock's work, the stories may seem a little bizarre; but that is one of Hitchcock's trade marks. The style of this series is much like the "Twilight Zone." If you like that series I extremely recommend this video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Assortment Of Hitchcock Tales, October 17, 2003

This review is from: Alfred Hitchcock Presents [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This "GoodTimes Home Video" release contains four fine episodes of Alfred Hitchcock's 1950s television series, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". .......

"The Horseplayer" (with Claude Rains).

"Man From The South" (featuring Steve McQueen and a subtly ghoulish Peter Lorre, who appears more than willing to use that chopping knife he's holding above the hand of a nervous McQueen).

"Mrs. Bixby And The Colonel's Coat" (with Audrey Meadows starring).

"A Dip In The Pool" (Keenan Wynn).

I enjoyed all of these programs, with the Lorre/McQueen outing being the standout.

This VHS video is a good addition to anyone's Hitchcock Collection.
