www.imdb.com/t...
In a Las Vegas casino, an unpleasant little man hopes to use a young man's wish to impress the young woman he has just met to pressure the young fellow into accepting a macabre bet.
R.I.P To A Great Actor Steve McQueen, Still Miss You Always 😢
Right on! For more McQueen, see Greg Laurie's video
@@lonelybro77 Will Do
No one like Peter Lorre
King of Cool
The stunning Neile Adams is the only one left of the entire cast. She was 28 years old here and is still with us as of this writing in 2024 (91 years old!) This was directed by Normal Lloyd, a lifelong collaborator of Hitchcock's who also was Producer for this series along with Joan Harrison, another lifelong collaborator of Hitchcock's. Adams also appeared in a later episode in this 5th season, "One Grave Too Many," with Jeremy Slate and a supporting role played by Howard McNear (Floyd the barber in "The Andy Griffith Show.)
The short hairstyles of the 1950's and 1960's really allowed people to see the beautiful faces and profiles of young women, her simple dress and lovely form really draw the attention, Neile Adams is beautiful agreed.
Obviously she didn't smoke in REAL life!
Steves 1st wife
And Howard Mc Near, radio's Gunsmoke Doc Adams and countless other radio characters.
Wasn't she eventually his wife??? His best movie was "the Sand Pebbles" he deserved the Academy Award.
No matter how many times I watch Lorre act I believe he’s not acting..
The mark of a good actor!
Peter could act, and did; his sleepy-eyed look belied what he truly could do. But I would go along with the perception that his performance in Fritz Lang's M simply couldn't be topped. Picture getting the cinematic (and non-German-speaking) world's attention quite the way he did.
@@johcafra 'M' was a classic. Lorre was great in that role. I believe it was his best.
We are all on stage ...
Good for you to know that, he is in the top 5,greatest actors of all time !
McQueen and Lorre.....both totally convincing in their roles. the Holy Grail of acting.
This what Hitch called a classic 'water cooler' episode. He liked his TV shows to have shocking ending that everyone would talk about the next day, for instance around the office water-cooler. This was not typical of his films but his own idea for doing great tv.
It was originally stolen form a W. Somerset Maugham story.
@@user-lt7ne9mv9b Really? I loved Maugham's two 'anthology movies "Trio' and 'Quartet". Both of which are free to watch on TH-cam.
@@user-lt7ne9mv9b The story was actually a story by Roald Dahl.
.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_from_the_South
@@user-lt7ne9mv9b Actually, the story was written by Roald Dahl.
I finally found the inspiration for the final segment of "Four Rooms". Starring Bruce Willis, Quentin T, and Tim Roth. Must see.
I couldn't really get into that, but I'll watch it again for the Madonna segment and see what happens. I am a fan of the guys you mentioned.
Never get tired of Hitch Presents.
The absolute BEST one of all ! I have never forgotten seeing this as a kid. What genius acting directing & writing ... Thank you all
I never get tired of this episode - - great acting by all, and it has my favorite - Peter Lorre!
Remember him best as Bogart's side kick in " Casa Blanca ".-!!! 😉.
16:34; "How is that? Good?"
Peter Lorre never met a scene he couldn't steal!
He was very convincing in The Maltese Falcon.
Unfamiliar with the movie but Lorre and McQueen drew me in, and it was worth it
The fact it's in black & white makes it so much better. Peter Lorre still scares me to this day.
It's an episode of Alfred Hitchcock presents
@@stevebishop9468 oh okay, yeah I remember the show, (born in the 60’s), but that’s about it, thanks
My favorite Hitchcock Presents episode.
this is from a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl, called Someone Like You
Thank you
My All Time Favorite Episode
If you really want to experience how masterful & skillful an actor Peter Lorre was, watch him in the final scene of the 1931 thriller "M." It's a scene that should be studied in acting school.
Acting that was right up there with anything Nicholson, De Niro, Streep, Pacino, Hoffman, or Brando ever did. Lorre always delivered.
Jack Nicholson was good in Ironwood and funny in Anger Management
Having seen Tarantino's "Four Rooms" and Walter Hill's "Tales from the Crypt's" adaptation of this story, this version is so great because you have no idea what's coming. Thank you.
0:40 Gee, I wonder what attracted Tarantino to this material.
everything tarantino did was a ripoff ,he's such a fraud
lotta star power for a half hour tv show.
Thanks for sharing this classic.
I've loved noir since I can remember, and Peter Lorre is a Master of his craft. Between that reedy voice with a bit of a lisp - to his appearance, those huge eyes - he is one of a kind, a genius, a legend. My little artist brain (before the '60's), thought he was a toad, like Wind In the Willows.
He;s one of the best actors ever! people misunderstand him because of the roles he played, i would loved to see him play a heroic charactor. he'd have killed it !
Lorre is a spy in Eric Amblers A Coffin Fo r Dimetrios
Hitchcock with Lorre, then Steve and his first wife...hot as a firecracker, she could melt you with those eyes..yeowww!!
Thought so
I was in a movie with Paul Newman, (slapshot 1977).
When British TV series began in 1979 a version of this was the first episode shown!
Thank you from Manhattan ©2024
4-21-2024. Big Apple? Little Apple?
After years of tireless academically-challenging research, I discovered that Roald Dahl (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) wrote this.
Just checking in - what have you been doing with yourself since your important research concluded?
Yes this was remade for his hosted anthology show.
You could have just googled it... xD
Hitchcock was a fan of Dahl's stories and used 6 of them in his teleplays. He also used at least that many in his anthology magazine stories.
3 minutes took me
This was done on Tales of the Crypt in the 80s .John Houston played in Lorre's part..
PETER LORRE-IS THE GREATEST ACTOR OF ALL TIME, IN MY BOOK !!--
Steve McQueen set a record back in 1973 for getting 2 million dollars up front for "Papillon".William Friedkin wanted McQueen for the movie "Sorcerer", which was his follow up to a little film called"The Exorcist". McQueen wanted the script rewritten to accommodate his then wife Ali McGraw. Friedkin said forget it and hired Roy Scheider instead. After the movie bombed Friedkin said he should have accepted McQueen's conditions. Francis Coppola offered McQueen the lead in "Apocalypse Now"but didn't wanna pay McQueen's 3 million asking price because he had already agreed to pay as much to Brando. Coppola then offered McQueen a supporting role of only three weeks work. McQueen said OK, that would come 1 million dollars a week. Coppola said no thanks and the role went Robert Duvall.
ok queen !!!
I remember watching this as a kid and being a little freaked out by the ending… at the time I had no idea who Steve McQueen was. Great story!!!
All of the variations on this episode make for interesting viewing. It makes me think of doing a video on this very subject in the near future with Tarantino's "The Man from Hollywood" as a framing device. Thanks for posting it in good quality.
Oh .. I was soooo wrong. Never saw that coming.
That woman is absolutely stunning 😍 The perfect blend of sweet & sultry!
She is McQueen's first wife. They got married in '56. Neille Adams, a dancer..
@@keithschwartz5723 i was thinking it was a far cry to claim she was from Moscow , Id.......thanks , i wondered who she was , a real vixen who stole the show
Neile Adams is the only one left of the entire cast. She was 28 years old here and is still with us as of this writing in 2024 (91 years old!)
EXCELLENT story. My stomach was in knots. Anyone here who doesn't know Roald Dahl's adult short stories, I strongly suggest them. They never disappoint.
@@SallySallySallySally wow!
Superb ! When the old woman arrived near the end I guessed correctly why she had her one hand in her coat pocket and revealed it at the very end. The young woman co-starring with Steve McQueen looks like McQueen's first wife Filipino American actress
Neile Adams (m. 1956; div. 1972)
Four Rooms brought me here . I’d scoured the internet before after initially renting Four Rooms to see this episode. It was hard to find until today! Thank you for sharing!
Same reason why I came to here!!
The first time I saw this was the Tarantino's version. Still gives me the Heebie-Jeebies.
It was an episode of “ Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected” which was a popular U.K. TV show in the 70s.
This episode was recreated by Tarantino in the last scene of a movie called. 4 Rooms. With Bruce Willis and Tim Roth. Each "room" is a scene directed by 4 different directors. Star studded and very good.
Very nice one thank you.❤❤
Brilliant, thank you for uploading
Alfred Hitchcock Presents is currently streaming on Peacock, but this episode is missing! It’s one of my favorites, as is the creepy Roald Dahl story that it’s adapted from. Freaked me out when I was a kid though! 😂
Another great story
There was another version of this, also by Hitchcock, with John Houston and Kim Novak.
Steve McQueen was a great star - but Peter Lorre stole everything that wasn't nailed down
RIP Peter Lorre.
A wonderful story. 👏👏👏
First time watching this episode
Peter Lorre omg...he 's like an artistic extension of Hitchcock's presence (by his little finger)
Wow...... McQueen s adaptive sponge senses........exposed to Genius of Peter Lorre
Great writer (Roald Dahl) great acting
Same story was filmed w Kim Novak by Hitch.
One of my favs. This and home away form home
The episode was made in 1959, McQueen was married to Neil for 3 yrs at that time!
Gives a new meaning to Cool Hand Luke!
I think you mean Three Fingers Luke
You spend a Night in the Box !!
First read this Roald Dahl story and then saw Jose Ferrer as Carlos in the British Tales of the Unexpected TV series made by Anglia Television and broadcast in 1979. All series 1 stories were by Roald Dahl and introduced by him.
Amazing to me that so many ppl understood that Neil, was an absolute knockout, but didn't know she was his wife for 16 yrs....... A lifetime in Hollywood! She was the star at this time, but he eclipses her big time. Highest paid star in America in 1976. Neil's Mgr said he is a gold digger and later apologized profusely that he read McQueen wrong! True story.😊
By the time this show aired, McQueen was the star of the Top 10 TV show WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE...
Super creepy episode! Thanks for sharing!
That lady was Steve McQueen's first wife in real life. Hubba-hubba!
she gave him the finger
Look at Peter Laurrie driving a nail straight, and into good, back in the day actual wood!
Some how some way this found me. I wish it was the entire episode with AH and the theme music.
He’s a natural ,McQueen
PERFECT !
Interesting/informative/entertaining. A nice comparison of lorrie & Mc Queen. Lorrie is ending his career & Mc Queen is starting his-!!!😉. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024) 🌈🎉💵😉.
My favorite Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode. Thank you!!
Was it a Hitchcock EP where theres a dinner club that turn out to be cannibals?
@@Matthias-sl6jr "The Specialty Of The House" looks like it.
I remember seeing this as a kid freaked me out forgot Steve McQueen was the guy.
McQueen with his first wife in this one "Neile Adams", then "Ali Mcgraw". "Harvey Mushman" had the same taste in woman as me. 2:43 Notice McQueen Loses the 1st time he uses the lighter a double strike on it. Thank You sir for posting.
If Peter can't heal my sore heart who else can.❤
I saw a film called 3 rooms that I believe had a scene based on the lighter bet.
GOOD SHOW.... 🔱⭐
Even a Zippo can not light on occasion😅
I'm not a smoker, but I've heard that double-strike in real life many times. :)
I thought he had wanted to see the convertible before he made the bet but he’s about to start working the bet without having seen the convertible so what’s this all about since the full terms of the bet haven’t been fulfilled??? 😮😮😮
They showed the car in the 1979 version of the film, a white Jaguar. In this one we're supposed to assume they saw it before going up to the room. But obviously they didn't check the title. Keys aren't enough.
They never paid for the coffee !
0:04 Copyright date is MCMLIX . That's 1959 in our number system . Eons ago in roman catholic grade school we had to learn Roman numerals
Yes, but the release date on IMDB is Jan 3, 1960.
This was from the Alfred Hitchcock television show.
This was from 1960 with Neile Adams his first wife.
There is a version of this, in colour, Tales of the Unepected.
It's a frequently adapted short story.
LOL! never saw this one. Wasn't expecting that ending.
It's referenced in the movie Four Rooms, the fourth part of it is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, it's one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history. They go through with the same bet. The short story by Roald Dahl has been frequently adapted. 2 notable adaptations besides this one are by American TV series Tales From The Crypt and British TV series Tales Of The Unexpected.
The hotel room looks like the Hollywood I Love Lucy episodes with a little redecorating and view.
No-one was ever more sinister than Peter Lorre!
Apparently his non-existent car was tireless too
Neile Adams and Ali MacGraw looked very alike. Steve definitely had a type.
It misses the very first time he tried to light her cigarette.
A goof by the director? With that reliability why would McQueen venture into such a proposition.
I didn't realise that Any Roald Dahl stories had been filmed for tv before the 70's
Peter in his later years. Gained a bit of weight, but that voice! Often immitated but never duplicaed!
Peter Lorre, what a character on an Hitchcock production? 2 freaky guys at once
It took him 2 times to light the lighter at breakfast
I caught that also and felt it was foreshadowing.
And in the end, it didn't light for his honey pie. That I think would have been the 8th try.
Had to be intentional IMHO.
Something for those who watch it twice.
I think he did it twice, a double strike, at breakfast and then a little later.
When Big Band Theory was being produced, I used to wonder if BBT's Chuck Lorre was related to Peter Lorre. Turns out no.
6:47 the lighter missed twice.
The bet should have been if Lorrie could belly laugh for one full minute.
When did Peter Lorre turn into Orson Welles? Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Moscow, Idaho.....greetings from Orofino....
Oh, it took some slight of hand, did it?
A brandy for 40 cents & for breakfast 🤣
He never looked at the car. What channel was this on and when?
He was married to Neile Adams for many years. And she had a one-night stand with Maximillian Schell during troubled times in their marriage (she says so in her book).
I believe the young woman was Steve McQueen's wife Neile.
Ok. Never saw it. As soon as Peter Lorrie approached , I suspect the girl and Peter Lorrie are working together. Now I think the “ the refferee” is also in on the trap.
Peter Lorre.⭐️🙏
Is that Steve McQueen 's first wife?
Joel Grey the bus boy . RIP He knew The Earth is Flat
That’s Marc Cavell. He also played the role of Rabbitt in “Cool Hand Luke”.
I just watched a show called Polide Station where the room service waiter was a young JD murder. He got no credit.
Too bad you cut the credits at the end. The woman is Neile Adams, Steve McQueen’s wife at the time.
The source that I copied this from didn't have the credits, but that's why I linked to the IMDB page in the description.
