Diana Dors was a really good and talented actress, with over a hundred film roles, many to great acclaim. Every one I've seen is confirmation of that. She didn't stand a chance, though, being manipulated by the wrong types of men in the film industry, beginning in her early teen years. She graduated with honours from LAMDA as their youngest student [she lied about her age, to get in]. With all the adulation, and that face and body, she was a natural target for the expoliters, and the 'Blonde Bombshell' idea quickly developed. The parties and orgies - which would hardly raise an eyebrow in this present age - might well have been part of the reaction of a strong but sensitive woman doing her best to survive all that falseness. Her life was more a tragedy than a scandal, I think. Thanks for this. As well as the story and acting I enjoyed Hitchcock's typical English dry humour.
Diana Dors deserves a "cult-like" dedication- she shouldn't be regarded as a Marilyn Monroe "wanna-be"- when I was younger I disliked everything about her but when I'd seen many more films- I've developed a respect for her talent. Her make-up was often "awful" but she cleverly took the "in" bleach and "goop" and created a trademark look, nobody could ever NOT notice her! Namaste from Canada
Back in her heyday she was suppose have been Britain's answer to their search for their Marilyn. Although they were both attractive in their own right, from seeing a few of Marilyn's and Door's works, I'm sorry but their is in my book absolutely No comparison! Diana was way too heavy and hard which is why, unlike Marilyn, she lots of times was cast as the "fem fetale" in dramatic flims due to her serious Noir like screen persona, and she played it well too. Marilyn, well, she unfortunately was good only for romance comedies, other than "cheesecake" pinups. So Diana was NO Marilyn, because Marilyn just didn't have the dead pan hard tough qualities Diana certainly had. I mean you May as as well try to compare M. Monroe to Lauren Becall, or Barbara Stynwick.
I didn't know Jeno's pizza rolls have around that long. And it ties in great with Pizza Flix! Of course, there were no microwave ovens back then, but it's better to use a conventional oven or skillet anyway.
In 1962 the suits at Revlon thought this episode ending was too gruesome for TV. Seems fairly mild today. Best one liner by Hitchcock: "Poor Irene was beside herself." 🤣🤣
The joke in the pizza rolls commercial, which is from about 1967, is that it’s satirizing a better-known series of ads from that time for Lark cigarettes. In this, a truck drove around with people holding signs that said “Show Us Your Lark Pack!” while the same music played (“The William Tell Overture”). That’s why a man with a cigarette appears at the end, followed by the Lone Ranger and Tonto whose radio and then TV show had used the song first.
Originally scheduled for the end of the 1960-'61 season. NBC vetoed the episode because they considered it "too gruesome" to be seen by a "family" audience [at the time, Hitchcock was scheduled on Tuesdays at 8:30pm(et)]. It was eventually seen in syndication.
I just got a pizza delivered and now I will enjoy pizza delight.... Pizza Flix and a Med Thin Crust Cheese and Jalapeno. Thanks for making my rainy day awesome.

Fortunately she was not but have to spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair...When they went to the court she forgives her nephew for she loved him so much, he was a little touched and seemed to regret...Hitchcock is really inspired by real, thank you for sharing
the youngster was played by brandon de wilde who's best known role is in the classic western "shane" from 1953. he also appeared with jimmy stewart in the 1957 western "night passage" and alongside paul newman in 1963's "hud." diana dors is considered the 3rd 50s blonde bombshell behind marilyn monroe and jayne mansfield. diana's full body wax figure is featured on the cover of the beatles' "sgt pepper's..." album. thanks for the upload.
As a child actor, Brandon DeWilde played the young son of homesteaders on the western movie Shane starring Alan Ladd. He also starred on a TV show called Jamie.
His performance in "The Pigeons from Hell" - an episode of the Boris Karloff-hosted TV series "Thriller" - was also exceptional. Stephen King called that episode one of the most frightening things ever made for television.
It was a bit before my time, but I used to love Alfred Hitchcock presents in reruns when I was a kid with my brothers in the 1970's.. Brandon DeWilde -boy from the movie "Shane". The man playing the sorcerer was good, but I would have loved to see john Carradine play this role. Plus Diana Dors was one of the top blonde bombshells and I liked her. But my favorite blonde bombshells were Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, Mamie van Doren, Anita Ekberg, Lana Turner among a few others. WOW! If Diana Dors was more busty here I would have mistaken her for Jayne Manesfield. I enjoyed this episode it got better and better as it went along! Thanks for the upload.
“That’s Why the Lady is a Tramp.” Perfectly described the classic Diana Dors character. She always plays naughty girls. Check her out in another AHP titled “ Run for Doom”.
Did you posters and readers gander what our PizzFlix guy wrote above? This episode never hit TV, because "too gruesome" for that time. So, it's a kind of a premiere showing! If I had to choose just one channel on Y-T will all others disappearing, it would be PizzaFlix because so varietous and creative in his presenting and selections!
I love the ending of this because it doesn't have the typical "oh let's save her" ending, and no music. Plus the fact that girl got exactly what she deserved, she was an evil witch.
Brandon de Wilde was great in, "In Harms Way." Tragically his life was cut short early after all these appearances, and such, in a motorcycle accident. The kid had range, he would have ben a huge star if he had lived, in my amateur opinion.
Terrific episode, but that pizza roll commercial at the end really got me! "Who was that masked man?" "I don't know, but I'd like to thank him." "Hi-yo, Pizza Roll...away!" 🤣🤣🤣

Nice! One of the most macabre endings they did. Say, was Ms. Dors in the TZ kinescope episode 22 (i.e. "Room for one more, honey")? I like that episode, very creepy and nightmarish. And I believe De Wilde was in one of the best Thriller episodes (another b&w anthology show, but hosted by Karloff), entitled Pigeons from Hell.

Diana Dors has a perfect face.
She was at the front of the line when good looks were handed out.
Marilyn was one of a kind. No actress could live up to her.
Diana was a much better actress than MM.

Another goody from Stan Freberg!
Was that really Jay & Clayton?
Works for PizzaFlix
Very few people possess this kind of distinctive Persona. Applause Alfred!
"Irene was beside herself", LOL. Excellent choice as always, Fred!
As annoying as ads have always been, this one was not as obnoxious as ads today. It was saved by a bit of humor.
The commercial was outstanding, who would have expected the Lone Ranger and Tonto

Well that was intense. The boy actor was really good. The script was surprisingly good as well. Very dramatic indeed.
There was some excellent acting in this one! Hugo was especially great in a tough role.
In 1962 the suits at Revlon thought this episode ending was too gruesome for TV. Seems fairly mild today. Best one liner by Hitchcock: "Poor Irene was beside herself."

Too gruesome in any era.
@@JudgeJulieLit perfect amount of gruesome. These stories work best that way. Leaves you feeling... Upset.
After half a century of cheap gore it is surprising how effective the shock ending is with a scream but NO visuals except what we imagine ourselves.
Sadly, Brandon De Wilde died at age 30 in a traffic accident.
Diana Dors was Richard Dawson's first wife (he was on family feud and match game).
I’m thinking the only reason he thinks his name is “Hugo” is because every time someone sees him they tell him “You! - Go! “ 🤣
Weird, I always pegged Pizza Rolls as an 80’s invention. I had no idea they’ve been around since the 60’s.
Seems they were later, 1967. This commercial may be more like 68, and was color. I call shenanigans!
i thought early 1960s that's also my surprise until i saw all the erudite comments.
PizzaFLIX.... very cultural.

Alan Ladd, is one of the shadow men, watching the film in citizen Kane?.
His performance in "The Pigeons from Hell" - an episode of the Boris Karloff-hosted TV series "Thriller" - was also exceptional.
Stephen King called that episode one of the most frightening things ever made for television.
Brandon De Wilde earned an Oscar nomination for his role in Shane.
Diana Dors was quite the beauty and although no longer connected the two special parts of her were still intact..
That was a good plan, though. A retard couldn't be held legally liable for a murder.
That’s a disgusting remark.

She was a good actress, brilliant in "Tread Softly Stranger" a serious acting role.
She also has another episode of Hitchcock, way better than this one. I just remember the word Doom was in the title. It's a knockout.
i've just watched 'The Last Page'.
