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.
@@FrankRummel-q3f 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.
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

Love Tennessee Williams
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 ❤❤❤💕
I loved this TV show since I was a kid---at least 55 years ago. So thankful I can watch it again!
alfred hitchcock always have the '''i never seen that coming'' ending
_I never _*_saw_*_ that coming_ is the correct grammar.
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
@@latonyazeigler5848 have you seen final escape? That episode is brilliant, and terrifying.
Love all the old classics👍
Born in '55, when I was a kid we watched Alfred Hitchcock on our only channel which was #4 in Southwestern Wyoming. These bring back a lot of pleasure and memories of the times as the accouterments are accurate of course to the time the films were made. Thank You for bringing these old shows back for us!
I too was born in 55 and Hitch was my most favorite. Course we did have around 4 channels. I still have a book from the day of Hitchcock stories! 😂❤
Wasn't the film the birds a black and white movie? For some strange reason it's never been a black and white film. It was filmed in color. Weird.
@@RoseanneSeason7 why is that weird?
We got about 8 channels in Toronto Canada back then
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
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.
Thanks. Was wondering who she was. Should have left the credits in.
She's much prettier than her daughter
My family looked forward to Alfred every week. None of us missed the show.
But... I missed the show...
My grandmother and I loved it too! This episode is a great example of the weird twists Hitchcock was famous for. Thanks!
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.
Hitchcock, newman and serling ! 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'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.
I used to have stacks of those. Ellory Queen, too. Wish I still had them.☮️
The 'sign about no water' line and the oil tanker sign in the background. Clever
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.
@@loganpollock1689 they weren't doing anything but resting. It's dessert and nobody wants to get dehydrated
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.
Its all psychological. You say sprites, spirits, people say, huh, what. You say poltergeist. Now you got a panic on your hands on the 4th of July!
@@trydowaveNow look Martin, a young girl walks into the desert, tires, becomes dehydrated, comes across a gas truck and collapses. It happens all the time.
I know, copyright issues, but I love that theme!
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.
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
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.
Burt and Dennis in an Alfred Hitchcock !!....thank you for this!
Dennis who ... ?
@@wutafungi Hopper
@@md6900bs Harry Dean Stanton.....
Correct.
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
💯❗️
"You can expect the weather to continue." Yessir, nothing like a solid, undeniable forecast!
🤣
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.
He never saw Sharknado
He never saw The Birds
Nah it was Caddyshack.
It doesn't get any better than Hitchcock!👍👍
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.☹
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
This is how Burt got his survival training for “Deliverance”....
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 TH-cam.
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!
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.
Best weather forecast of all times with Dr. Hitchcock and his pretty assistant.
If it looks like a cloud…….it might rain. Classic!
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"?
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.
Burd? Are you thinking of his alter ego Turd Ferguson from SNL?
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.
Wow, I thought that looked like Burt Reynolds. So handsome!!! Love these old black and white movies!! 💞
Mee too 😁
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.
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?
wow. All famous actors in this classic. What a great find
Always a great twist in there somewhere. Pure Hitchcock. I can barely believe I got to watch this at such a young age.
I was about three years old. I used to run to bed when this started because the music scared me so bad.😮
Just like Twilight Zone. I’d run out of the room covering my ears so I wouldn’t have nightmares.
Water bags! A common item in gas stations of the 50's
I didn’t see that ending coming. Great episode and a very young Burt to boot.
🎉 Very Grateful for the Upload of this 1960's TV series, as I have never seen, heard or known of it before you sharing it via Your TH-cam channel 🎉

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.
Love me some Alfred Hitchcock's movies. I love his old movies. Still watching!
Wow! I did not see that ending coming! Afred Hitchcock was the master of the surprise twist at the end.
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?
Great ending that I didn't see coming. Such a great series.
Me wither. Lol
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?
Did he play Stretch Cunningham in All in the Family?
Thank you for posting. Much better than today's shows.
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 🙏🏻
My fav. show as a child wished it was never ending, now l watch every one, too good!
wow! loved the shows of this era with all the young up n coming actors. burt reynolds and dean stanton spotted here...
Always loved this series and still enjoy them in here in TH-cam
Burt Reynolds WOW never expected to see him in a show so old. Just WOW Thanks for posting 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
According to IMDB, this episode originally aired Sunday, June 26, 1960. It is always fun to see famous actors at the beginnings of their careers before they were famous. In this case we get to see several, one of whom is Burt Reynolds.
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
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.
Oh, I love this series. I watched it my entire life. So happy to find it on TH-cam.
Look at all the stars in that one, wow.
Classic movie, classic actors, sooo good 👍🏼 Thanks again.
Wow Burt definitely workin the Brando resemblance
Never missed a show watching this as a kid!
Even now never sick of it'S 30/3/21 same as the tale of the unexpected it's a good life
Mach 1 GTX, Hello. I heard of this show but this was on before my time. What years was Alfred Hitchcock presents ?
Classic finding Burt Reynolds and Harry Dean Stanton working together!!!
Excellent! I remember watching Alfred Hitchcock when I was a kid, but I couldn't name a single episode. Now I can name one!
From the days when TV was great, and not overrun with so many stupid commercials!
And the tic-tac-toe joke made me laugh!
And insipid programs.
What a gem. Like a theater play. Superb.
Radiator water. Yum!
rust is arsenic
@@Thadmotor1044 assuming this was pre antifreeze, would not be a good outcome.
They DID use antifreeze back then, and it was just as toxic as today. When my dad was in high-school in Prescott AZ, he used to help HIS dad drive a gas tanker like this on similar sandy dirt roads making deliveries to places like Mayer, Humblolt ,Bumblebee, Cleater and Crown King. But that was high desert. Sonoita (pronounced sun-oy-ta) is hot, low desert down south of Tucson.
@@VTSifuSteveyea, you don't even want to leave antifreeze out because dogs and cats, all animals are attracted to it. Will kill them fast, it must be a painful death. - I grew up in south tx, about 1 hour from Mexico. 110 degree summers common.
@@VTSifuSteve antifreeze destroys kidneys as you know . Now they have an agent in it that repels animals like cats and dogs from licking it . Sometimes humans get it right
Great performances from a great cast. Thanks for the upload, revisited !
Just a kid and we love watching Alfred Hitchcock 😊

When I was a kid I had stacks of the Alfred Hitchcock short story magazines. They were such fun. I wish I had them still 😊
I love the old mans knowledge and survival skills! Glad to learn some new good skills! Very cool episode! Hitchcock is excellent!
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.

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?
Fabulous story! Love the ending, perfection.
Hitchcock was a genius
Ol' Turd Ferguson does an excellent Brando impression. I am impressed.
The older shows stay closer to the line of reality. That lady had amazing facial expression. What an an actress.
Thanks for the upload! I'd never seen Burt Reynolds in his earlier gigs!
Dennis Hopper played his part well. I loved the ending.
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.

Haven't seen that one for 45 years.
That was fun!

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.
Harry Dean Stanton! Excellent episode.
Lol....I can't find the worfds to describe of how hilarious and ironic this is!! Bravo Bravo....encore!......
sitting in front of the tv in 50's & 60's.
I just love the way a wide open space has the echo of a studio set.
I remember this episode since I was a kid. I've not seen it since it first premiered. Great twist.
