  • From the late-night television talk show "Tomorrow with Tom Snyder".
    In this conversation, Hitchcock shares, among other things, some pranks he has played on others and tells some scary stories. Hitchcock was at this point in his career a year after the premiere of "Frenzy" and three years before the completion of his last film, "Family Plot," in 1976.
    Sir Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) was an English filmmaker. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense", he became as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations (Wikipedia).

    The world's greatest "talk show". In the 70's, my parents would be asleep. I would wake up, go down hall past my folks room, pass the living and den room, dining room, and make my way to the kitchen. I would pull out the pocket door and close it, ever so slightly. Then I would watch, The Tomorrow Show.
    I was in my teens. My parents did indeed catch me. But only a few times.

    I have recently become obsessed with Hitchcock's films
    As much as I love Tippi Hedren as an actress and a beautiful lady, I feel sorry for Hitch for not being able to speak for himself regarding Tippi's accusations (she did attend his AFI Tribute and his funeral after stopped working with Hitch)
    We ought to listen to evidence on both sides instead of just listening to solely one before judging a person
    RIP, Hitch

    As much as I like Tippi Hedren (a talented actress and a classic beauty), I somehow have a lot of reservations about her accusations of Hitch (it was rather unfair to “tell” people in a memoir long after Hitch was gone, where Hitch could no longer defend himself)

      Funny that Kim Novak called Hitch, a perfect gentleman. And she was an even more glamorous blonde beauty than Tippi Hedren. And Hedren went to Hitch's AFI life achievement ceremony, and want to his funeral.
      I'm calling BS on that story.

      Most memoirs contain stories about deceased persons. You don't have to take any one writer's account at face value, but by reading several acoounts of a person who interests me, I hope to get a reasonably good picture of what he or she was like. I think it is established that Hitchcock had a creepy side.

      It's easier to throw mud on someone's name and ruin their reputation when they aren't able to defend themselves. Look how many people have been "outed" as being gay or whatever long after they're dead and conveniently can't say anything one way or the other. It's a coward's way of getting back at someone that they didn't have the guts to do while the person was alive. He sexually harassed her yet she went to his funeral and his AFI award ceremony? No one else saw him acting that way that worked with him? Yeah. Tell us another one, lady.

    I wonder what that piece of morse code was, just before the commercial break, at around 15:46 or 47?
    Perhaps some kind of audio cue, as it was just before a snippet of the Psycho score started to play?

      Those tones were the alert to stations that an ad break was coming.
      I remember sometimes seeing a flashing white square dot
      at the top right corner of the screen that served the same purpose.
      During a live network transmission the control operator at each station has to be "on his toes"
      to switch the network feed on and off so that local ads can be run.
      There is almost no margin for error. Timing has to be precise.
      Now, of course, there are more modern methods.

    • @spacemissing
      @spacemissing 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The Tomorrow Show was run starting at 1 AM in the eastern and pacific time zones;
      midnight in central and mountain. So, if you were watching, it was "tomorrow"
      because the new calendar day begins at midnight.
      Someone at the network must have thought himself quite clever for coming up with that.
      One of my favourite announcements came from radio station KSL in Salt Lake City.
      Its frequency is 1160. In times long gone, you would hear that the time was 11.60 ---
      thus both midnight and frequency were stated in one simple sentence.

    Tom was never very good with asking questions. This last segment the second segment in the show it’s just a total waste. He was known for that type of thing. You’d be sitting there saying if I was talking to this person I’d be asking this and that but tub for some reason just didn’t get it.

    The reason why Hitchcock sounds so frightened in this interview is because he remembers what he saw happen to artists in America during the McCarthy years. Their careers were destroyed. It could happen to any artist or anyone.

      I hope you say that because you are too young to have seen Snyder a lot when he was alive.
      He was never the best, but he was good.
      Late night commercial TV was never supposed to be intense; rather, it needed to be a bit loose.
      PBS could get away with heavy stuff, but a lot of PBS stations went off the air
      earlier than affiliates of the big three did. Yes! TV was Not all 24/7 then.
