Presenting Alfred Hitchcock Presents | Ann Arbor District Library

It's March 12th, National Alfred Hitchcock Day! To quote the Hitchcock Festival website: "It is not the birthday or the death of Hitchcock, and it is unclear why it is celebrated on this date." But what a perfect time to present the first episode of the only multi-part story in the series. Who killed Count Mattoni? You won't find out in THIS episode! Then, Al takes a sip of "Champagne."

In this installment, Charles Hannover Gresham resorts to blackmail to play a blackmailer in Wayne Campbell's new play. But that's just a taste of the cream of the jest. Then, Al flirts with "The Farmer's Wife."

In this installment, as Hitch tells us, we have a story of the eternal triangle...where two of the three are willing to commit murder. Then, Al puts on the gloves and enters "The Ring."

In this installment, insurance man Joe Rogers investigates a woman whose previous two husbands died under mysterious circumstances. And it looks like she's preparing to marry again. Then, Al indulges in a little Easy Virtue.

In this installment, Steve Morgan becomes a number...number 22...when he is arrested and enters a police line-up. Steve thinks it's a game but it is more serious than Steve thinks. Then, Al counts down from Number Twenty-Two to Number Seventeen.

In this installment, there's some arsenic poisoning going on in the home of Carl and Annette Borden. But who is the poisoner and who is the victim? Then, it's Downhill from there.

In this installment, the Judge invites young Wallace, who is running off with the Judge's wife, to share a bottle of wine, which he just may have poisoned. In stories pitting young and old rivals, one or the other invariably comes to a tragic end. But which one in this story?

In this installment, Stephen Fontaine is a prisoner, saddled with an "Oregon Boot," a manacle around his ankle. He is sure that he can convince police Sgt. Rockwell to free him for $50,000 but things do not go as planned.

In this special installment, Al takes a look at the Hitchcock film that came out in the middle of the show's second season; a film very much like "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" in tone, look, and feeling.

In this installment, Richard Ross murders his brother's political rival, then can't believe that his district attorney brother doesn't appreciate it. There's nothing else to do but threaten the life of his brother's wife to make him cooperate.
