2023: Excellent!! I used to watch Alfred Hitchcock when I was a kid. Always Great. Thank You So Much.
Love seeing these classic actors in their younger days
Me too! I watched the series every Sunday night as a kid, it was the last show before bedtime. They don't make them like they used to.
@@user-vs7ns2ub9y Even Rod Serling couldn't think up a story like 2024! ??
A 10 yo kid like me in the mid 70s probably shouldn't have even known who Hitchcock was, but my brother an I watched reruns of this show when we were allowed to stay up late. The stories didn't speak to me as a kid, but I loved Hitchcock's humor in those intro bits and especially at the end. He was always caricaturizing himself. Wonderful guy!
@@beenaplumber8379 Excellent. Best Regards
This was my late, beloved mother's favorite show growing up! She never missed an episode!
Nawww ! I cannie believe thee ! 'Re ye sure ? Here's such a wonderful information ! Hast courage.
🙏
In your love Scottish accent ))
It was a great show! Hope it brings you comfort to watch these.
I remember my grandparents and I watching Hitchock's hour, late-night on Sunday in syndication. Originally aired from 1955-1965. A number of them are classic television episodes, others are only average mysteries and drama. Out of 361 total episodes (268 half-hour, 93 one hour), he directed only 18.

Think about it often..can't go back or forward..only this instant..life is very very strange
No it bloody isn't. We all spend a lot of time imagining and anticipating the future.

Harry dean Stanton and Burt Reynolds..I don't think I've ever seen them so young.
Stanton is great with Dustin Hoffman and Gary Busey in the film "Straight Time." Wonderful debut for Theresa Russell and Kathy Bates, too.
And the mayor of Amity Island, from Jaws. Never did know his name, but I always mistake him for Hal Holbrook at first.
@@HeyMykee That was Murray Hamilton, who also played Mrs. Robinson's husband in "The Graduate." His geat line: "I hope you don't mind if IIII don't shake hands with you?"

BURT REYONDS!!! I JUST HIT ON THIS AND TO MY SURPRISE ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES ❤❤❤💕
alfred hitchcock always have the '''i never seen that coming'' ending
Those of us who were young during the run of this show look back with great nostalgia.
Everyone loved Hitch
Wrong ... I'm in my early 70's and never did like him ...Very overrated as a writer and comedian.
@@chipsramek3868 comedian?!?! He's certainly never been known as a comedy person! He is a suspense writer!
@maryannswanson3832 some of his one liners cracked me up.
Great suspense writer with a very droll, dry sense of humor!@@chipsramek3868

Hitchcock, newland and sterling ! The best hosts ever. Will never get tried of these shows, so nostalgic !❤
Serling, not Sterling. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Serling
Really like One Step Beyond too!
Nostalgic? It's brain stimulation versus entertainment numbness nowadays.
@@ypaulbrown omg yes how could I, smh 🤦🏿♀️ thank you 😬🤦🏿♀️
@@ypaulbrown it was a sterling example of an error
I loved this TV show since I was a kid---at least 55 years ago. So thankful I can watch it again!
Pro tip if your engine is overheating: Do NOT remove the radiator cap when the engine is still hot. The sudden drop in pressure can cause the overheated water in the radiator to instantly term to steam and give you a nasty burn!
Oh yeah, but what really grossed me out was drinking water from radiators and oil tankers 🤢
@@Bluettes-cm7wo I’m pretty sure the oil tanker had been thoroughly cleaned before it was used to haul water. They just hadn’t gotten around to repainting the sides of the tank.
@@mumblesbadly7708 a tank is not a tank. A food-grade tanker has no internal baffles. The only way they could use a former oil tanker is for industrial use water, or maybe for cattle.
But then again, this was 1960 Nevada. Things were done differently back then. the West was still alive then.
And take any jewelry off before working around the battery. My friend’s pinky ring touched a battery port and turned red hot on his finger, tearing the skin off ass he panicked to removed it.
Turn on the heater on hi helps relieve the pressure. If you do pull the cap leave the engine running to help a little bit keeping the pressure down some.
Years later Hitchcock said that Smokey and the Bandit was his favorite movie.
he never saw steve martin in 'housesitter'.. hah
He never saw Saving Ryan's Privates.
The hostage is Venetia Stevenson. Her picture was on a beer can from George Younger Brewery, "Sweetheard Stout". She dated Elvis for a while and her daughter Erin was married to Axl Rose.
huh! Interesting. She was certainly pretty
RIP 2022
Odd. Her daughter had same bad taste in men as she did.
Axle rose was only married to her for one year. She said he threatened himself with a fire arm if she didn’t marry him. He wrote “sweet child o mine” about her and she was in the video.
When I was a kid in the late 70s, I saw a B&W movie on TV about a disabled truck stranding folks in the desert with no water. My Mom (a big Hitchcock fan) had seen it before and told me the ending. I wondered for the longest time what "movie" that was, so imagine my surprise seeing this. Thanks for posting.
Wow. Fantastic story! That's really cool how that worked out.
Alfred Hitchcock was brilliant and ahead of his times avid watcher since 3yrs old and I am 48 2021
yes some great, innovative filming techniques.. even used today
My family looked forward to Alfred every week. None of us missed the show.
But... I missed the show...
Wow, I've never seen these actors so young: Burt Reynolds, Harrry Dean Stanton, and Murray Hamilton (the mayor of Amityville). Thank you. This is really cool.
Amity. The mayor of Amity. Sharks baby, not ghosts.
@@ericthatsme Right 😀 Thanks
Thanks! I thought he was Burt but not sure.
Burt looks just like he could be Marlon Brando’s brother here
Brando hated Burt.
Indubidubly 🙂
@@jmark7390really?
Burt looks like Burt.
@@quiltgalsews Burt mentions it in his book. Enough about me.
This is how Burt got his survival training for “Deliverance”....
Might be because I grew up watching Hitchcock and Rod Sterling's work, but it sure seems like their depth of imagination has rarely been matched.
TV shows were so predictable you would know that they would defeat the bad guys and Burt would get the girl. Always a twist with Hitch or Serling. Slava Baby. Heroyam Slava! Tokmak then on to Melitopol!
Putin
@@2nostromo No. There's not the slightest indication that Burt Reynolds character got or would ever "get the girl." She's a traumatized kidnap victim recovering in the hospital, likely the daughter of very rich family to pay such a ransom. It's basically a given that they'll never see each other again.
Moreover, episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" often ended with the villain triumphant, to the point where network sensors compelled Hitch to make some perfunctory remarks at the end suggesting a final comeuppance that was not at all part of the dramatized story.
@@2nostromo
💯❗️
Burt and Dennis in an Alfred Hitchcock !!....thank you for this!
Dennis who ... ?
@@wutafungi Hopper
@@md6900bs Harry Dean Stanton.....
Correct.
That was one hell of a leap in the story, between pops heading out for help, and the police car pulling up.
Back in those days they couldn't show what Burt Reynolds and the woman were doing all night.
I also thought that it was a bit abrupt.
A brief scene of the old man struggling to make it would've kept viewers wondering if he would make it, and also a less over-the-top performance by the two bad guys would have made it a better episode.
love how the girl just gets moved around from spot to spot like a piece of stage dressing.
Hitchcock had a good sense of humor and was a funny guy. A dry British humor along with the Poe darkness? Most appreciated Sir~ well done.
His intro and epilogue and the girl with the straight-face. lol
TicTacToe
And a huge perv😂
Too bad hitchcock was such a jerk to tippi hendren. Disgusting man altho he made interesting movies.
Too bad he was also a pig who treated women very badly.
The actress Venetia Stevenson just turned 83 a few days ago.
She looks like a young Agnes Moorhead to me.
i read Venetia's Wikipedia
page...I've seen many of the shows she was in but I'm just now noticing her thanks to your post....bet she's still in So.Cal. ...
i wish her well...
I remember seeing her in a strange movie a while back called "Horror Hotel", which I'm pretty sure was made around the same time as this excellent episode of AHP.
🙏🏻
God Bless her soul 🙏🏻
Love all the old classics👍
I'm glad l saved my old Alfred Hitchcock Mystery magazines. He didn't write the short stories but he sure knew how to pick them!
Hitchcock's Stories For Late At Night, those were creepy too.
I loved those magazines!!
@@anyviolet 😊
Wish we still had magazines like that today.
The gunman stands with his back to two men, talking away and neither man jumps him. That’s what I love about movies of this era.
That's right. Stephen Segal has not been invented yet.
With the gun visible, at a perfect angle to grab & control.
Water bags! A common item in gas stations of the 50's
Perfect episode to highlight one of television's greatest anthology series.
Hitchcock introduced each episode with his signature drole wit and these 'forwards' were as anticipated each week as the story itself.
The surprise element in every Alfred Hitchcock films...God I love that guy, was so Clever.
yeah rear window, dial m for murder and strangers on a train was magnificent
I agree but Hitch did not write or direct these tv episodes. He merely introduced them and maybe had some say in the selection of scripts, though I'm not sure if he even did that.
This was a great episode, when Burt's name came up on the credits I was very pleased, wow he was a fabulous actor even then just starting out, just think 20 years later he would be the biggest star in the world.
It's can be fun watching these old tv shows from the fifties and sixties and spotting famous actors when they were young and unknown.
AND HARRY DEAN STANTON WAS JUST A KID, TOO
Wow, I thought that looked like Burt Reynolds. So handsome!!! Love these old black and white movies!! 💞
Mee too 😁
wow. All famous actors in this classic. What a great find
Thank you so much for posting this masterpiece with no ads. We appreciate it! ♥️🙌🏽👍🏽
All of US
Ditto. Many thanks
It would be risky to try to monetize this material. Bad enough that there's a watermark on it.
Amen to the no ads
@@Vector_Ze I thought the ads were put in by youtube automatically once they got enough views?
It's cool to see Burt Reynolds in this episode. Hitchcock loved Smokey and the Bandit.
❤️ burt Reynolds movies 🎬 the longest yard legendary burt Reynolds movie 🎬 burt Reynolds had a bunch of them 1970s early 1980s
I think the young Burt Reynolds looks like a young Brando
An astute observation. I agree. The head shape, the mannerisms.
Acts like him, too.
I agree
@lindickison3055 😆 No. And he's not even in the same universe as Brando.
@@roberthill799 agreed
Alfed Hitchcock helped many actors break their chops in acting careers, like Burt Reynolds.
And Harry Dean Stanton!
Burt Reynolds also got a lot of experience on the old Gunsmoke program. He once said in an interview that it was the most fun he ever had as an actor.
@Eilliw Nodrog The truck was overheated. It cooled down by the time the kidnappers took off. And it wasn't a "gasoline" truck, Hitchcock just led you to believe that. You may want to watch it again, because what kind of truck it is ..is kinda the punch line.
Dice todo en Inglés no sé le entiende nada.
So they drank out of that radiator, only to realized it contained anti freeze.
I didn’t see that ending coming. Great episode and a very young Burt to boot.
Hitchcock was a genius
Great ending that I didn't see coming. Such a great series.
Me wither. Lol
Another beautiful Cadillac limousine.
Hitchcock loved them as much as his blondes.
He probably tried to put the moves on the blonde.
Thank you for these shows.I used to watch them. I love Alfred Hitchcock's shows. He was such a funny and serious man.
I enjoy watching the old Highway Patrol series with Broderick Crawford. Seeing Southern California before world wide media showed the world what a paradise we had. Back then. All gone now.☹
Lol Hitchcock was the best. Always a great sense of humor!
Great find! You can see how Reynolds stood out amongst the other actors..he sort of resembled a young Marlon Brando here.
Thanks for posting!
Wow your comment cast some serious doubt about my eyesight hahaha
Stanton > Brando > Reynolds
He was good in gunsmoke also
He definitely looks like Marlon Brando here.
In the episode "The Bard" on The Twilight Zone, Reynolds did what was perceived as a Brando imitation - and Brando never forgave him for it. A segment of it is posted here on CZcams.
Great show. Loved Harry Dean Stanton's portrayal of an idiot!
Yes! That was awesome
Yes, very subtle performance.
Just finished alll Mary Hartman DVD's. Harry Dean Stanton's character broke a chair over Mary K. Place's, which gave her amnesia!
@@lowe-quay-shush Real?
Love that somber threatening music and drumbeat at the pauses of these Hitchcock episodes
Used to really give me the creeps when I was a kid.
Ominous!
I love a good twist and I did NOT see that one coming.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Probably no one did. I first saw it back in the late 60's when I was about seven years old and that ending just blew me away!.
Nope, me neither
Best weather forecast of all times with Dr. Hitchcock and his pretty assistant.
Dad and son are very good actors! We miss the Bandit rest in peace Burt and thank you for all the fun, thrills along with your trusty Trans Am! Say hello for us to Dale 03 too!
Wow, Reynolds definetly looked like Brando when he was young. They should have played as brothers in a movie.
He was mentioned to play Sonny in The Godfather but Brando was totally against it. Disliked Burt for some reason.
The ending was fantastic, as usual- very unexpected LOL!
"You can expect the weather to continue." Yessir, nothing like a solid, undeniable forecast!
i am delighted to see and hear Murray Hamilton and Harry Dean Stanton in this episode. Thank you for posting this.
Was the cop Richard Crenna?
No but maybe the same guy who played in Poltergeist. The realtor?
I know, copyright issues, but I love that theme!
Unfortunately, a decade or so later that truck meant bloody serious business, in Steven Spielberg's Duel.
Yes!! It reminded me of it
Are you saying it was the same truck?
Really strange, never really appreciated Burd Reynolds until I saw this. Thanks for sharing.
Burt was great in the early Gunsmoke episodes .
I like Burd.
The mayor from Jaws,lol that didn't want to close the beach.
Also the cuckold husband from The Graduate. I never thought of him as a method actor, but he is very "methos" in this story ... and good too.
My fav. show as a child wished it was never ending, now l watch every one, too good!
Always loved this series and still enjoy them in here in CZcams
That was Burt Reynolds my goodness, looked like Marlon Brando 💚
Ye,he must have been good payd too..,)
I thought he was Brando
Thats what I thought
Bert said that Brando hated him because he looked like him, so Bert grew his famous mustach...
Sounded like him too.
What a treat. Plus, a young Harry Dean Stanton!
l swear he played the same beaten, rough, oddball reject character all his career.. right thru to the green mile lol
@@BEAUTYnIQ Totally. Have you seen the movie called "Wiseblood"?
Dude with the flowered shirt and striped cap was the second victim in the original Alien flick.
It was smart of Murray to ask how many bullets Harry had left in his gun, and to volunteer that he only had two left, himself. Very sharp criminal.
Not thinking
Harry Dean Stanton has always been the same age no matter what he's in.
I wondered if anyone else was ever going to notice that.
So was Burt Mustin
Harry Dean is one great underrated actor.
@@danpatch4751 Ha ! Gus in the net. Gus in the net.
He played Jack Elam's younger brother in a Rifleman episode.
This was a better than good AH Presents episode. Fascinating fact: Burt didn't forget Venetia Stevenson. the actress who played the kidnap victim. Many years later after Burt hit it really big he hired her to work in his production company
Of course, he kept alot of WOMEN he WANTED to have SEX with CLOSE.
@@WATCH-IT-BUSTER grow up.
Amazing the best people surprise in the most unexpected ways
I read her Wiki page and she was the mother in law of Axl Rose
@@WATCH-IT-BUSTER was he a sex addict?
I remember this episode since I was a kid. I've not seen it since it first premiered. Great twist.
I was around 12 when this program caught my attention back in the mid 80s. I think I used to watch it on USA network. I watched both the Hour and Presents.
Always a great twist in there somewhere. Pure Hitchcock. I can barely believe I got to watch this at such a young age.
They don't have these quality shows anymore. Dont know how
Sad as this is very outstanding storytelling. Modern tropes had infected me worse than thought: scoffed at the obvious Going-To-Blow sometime flammable fuel load. Yet the dialogue re: needing to repaint after buying, etc. was so natural in context it didn't hit at all until the BAM! at end; then perfect FIT, not jammed-in convenience. Excuse rant but you sum it up; this should be taught at schools vs going backwards. Refuse to believe talent is NOT out there.
Burt Reynolds was SO gorgeous in his younger days! I LOVE that walk and swagger of his!
Wasn't he a football player in college in Florida when he was young? He definitely had that sex appeal.
Yes, he played scatback for the Florida State Seminoles. In high school he had run a 9.4 100 yard dash.
@@paulbudrean2946 Was he a tight end or a wide receiver?
@@gregingram4996 LOL, well, I don't think he was a "receiver".
@@gregingram4996 He started out as a tight end, but ended up as a wide receiver.
Just a kid and we love watching Alfred Hitchcock 😊
R.I.P. Burt Reynolds (1936-2018).
Wow already 3 years ago.
Haven't seen that one for 45 years.
That was fun!
Thank you for posting. Much better than today's shows.
Sometimes Hitchcock had a real twilight zone vibe.
Or maybe twilight zone had a Hitchcock vibe. Hitchcock came first.
It always comes on after twilight zone on Decades or Me tv I can't remember which channel
@@Brian_tim I love Twilight Zone but mass majority of Hitchcock's stuff is WAY better but I do tend to lean more towards Alfred Hitchcock Presents over Alfred Hitchcock Hour
Many of the actors who starred in Hitchcock’s shows were also on The Twilight Zone. Murray Hamilton, the lead bad guy in this episode, played Death in the TZ episode “One for the Angels” with Ed Wynn.
@@crazymotherofcats3361 are you crazy??? TZ is unparralled.
A very good episode!! I like the ending, (No spoilers.) The man that played the lead bad guy (Murray Hamilton), played the flakey and opinionated mayor in "Jaws."

Ol' Turd Ferguson does an excellent Brando impression. I am impressed.
Classic movie, classic actors, sooo good 👍🏼 Thanks again.
Burt Reynolds shows us what not to do when your engine overheats
So that WAS Burt Reynolds! I wasn't sure.
@@mordechai- Yes, the cast credits in the beginning was a big giveaway.
@@jess4metoo Like I read those!
I almost got to see Burt and Jack's restaurant destroyed. We were turning our container ship in the basin and a tug line parted as we started our swing. Without the tug pulling it was looking very bad for the customers, and as mate on watch, I was not looking forward to spending time hauled before the Coast Guard or being deposed by a million admiralty attorneys. The Docking master called out a PAN PAN on the VHF for any tug available to assist and we were swarmed, and the early birds at Burt and Jacks had an anticlimax to the show. Truly, the Lord looked over me during my sea going career.
@@mordechai- Well maybe you should, it's not difficult,then you wouldn't be wondering all through the episode. Their names came up in great big letters at the beginning above the title, you could hardly miss them.
Oh, I love this series. I watched it my entire life. So happy to find it on CZcams.
Hitchcock was definitely a one of a kind talent & pervert.
Caddy driver is Harry Dean Stanton, one of the weirder actors over the decades, and star of Paris, Texas. Great movie.
He played a lot of characters in his time but I never thought of him as weird...but we are all weird in some way or another. 👵
@@Germatti13489 He was also in Alien, and many other movies. The list is impressive.

Loved the way they waited till the bad guy got his gun out. Who could have seen that coming?
I love the old mans knowledge and survival skills! Glad to learn some new good skills! Very cool episode! Hitchcock is excellent!
I still watch Alfred Hitchcock until this day April 1st 2021 it is on Me-TV at 1 a.m. and also 1:30 a.m.
Tic Tac Toe with the lovely weather girl. Such droll humor, love it.
I thought they were going to play it all the way through.
love these old short movies. thanks for posting
Great cast and cool ending. Love Venetia Stevenson. She should have done more films.
She was not on the credit. That's Hollywood for you.
"Horror Hotel" is another good performance of hers. I'm pretty sure she retired from acting soon after that. She married Don Everly and had children. Her daughter Erin was married to Axl Rose.
She died last year, 2022, at 84 and also had a long term affair with Audie Murphy.

This is great, watched this show as a kid, thanks for the good memories
This is still my favorite TV show. Started watching it in 1957 when I was 6 years old and we got a TV.
Me too. I am 67. I had to go online and purchase some Alfred Hitchcock one hour presents boxed sets.years ago. You can watch , put away, take out aytear later and enjoy over again. Never gets old.
...This is actually very well acted by all involved . I enjoyed this. :)
"actually"
I do believe the mayor from Jaws is in this episode.
Wow, that was cool. I used to watch these as a kid can’t believe how young Burt Reynolds was
Lol, I knew that old signage on the truck would come into play later! I love a good twist.
Fabulous story! Love the ending, perfection.
Thanks for the upload! I'd never seen Burt Reynolds in his earlier gigs!
