This Video is a collection of two of episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Chaney Vase and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The First Episode is about an employee at a Bank, played by Darren McGavin. When things at the bank turn troublesome McGavin's character seeks employment with one of the Bank's wealthy patrons in an attempt to get her most prized possession, the Chaney Vase. I will not spoil the ending, but this one is vintage Hitchcock. The Next Episode, the Sorcerer's Apprentice, is about a mentally challenged young lad, played by Brandon DeWilde who meets up with the magician from a travelling circus, but things get quite interesting when the Magician's wife gets the young boy confused about her husband. It is a great story, and the ending is absolutely bone chilling. Be advised, however, I have this edition and the picture is not digitally restored, and thus a little worn. The picture is actually better than most of Hitch's old British films, and the stories more than make up for it. This video is a must have for any die hard Hitchcock fan.
