Rating: - Fabulous Fun From 50's TV With Hitch.... Also Included in Best Of Hitchcock(Film) Set Vol 2
This review refers to the Universal Studios DVD edition of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Volume 3"...

Fabulous fun, suspenseful moments, and some great stars is what you are in store for with these four classic TV episodes from The Alfred Hitchcock Presents series. And don't forget the sly little insights from the Master himself, as he open and closes each program.

1958 - "Poison" - Yikes..James Donald is half owner of a plantation in Malaysia. He is in bed minding his own business, when he feels something crawling on him. OMG! It's a deadly snake, and it's taken a little rest, under the covers with him, right on his stomach! Enter his partner, Wendell Corey, who is a bit on the sadistic side, and watches his friend suffer, as he can hardly breathe for fear the snake will bite him. But is the snake really there, or is he just been nipping on the booze to much? It's a blast finding out!

1957 - "The Perfect Crime"..Vincent Price is a detective to rival Sherlock himself. He boasts many solved mureder cases, that have ultimately put the crimainal in the electric chair. But uh-oh, a lawyer, he has beaten in court, has just dropped by to inform him, he had an innocent man put to death! How will the great detective handle this news?

1958 - "Dip in The Pool" This one is based on a story by Roald Dahl...Keenan Wynn is outclassed on a luxary liner, but sees a chance to make a bundle on the ship's pool where betting takes place on the mileage each day. Wynn will do whatever it takes to win. It has a wonderful surprise twist at the end and also stars Fay Wray.

1957 - "One More Mile To Go"...David Wayne has killed his wife and has a great plan to rid himself of her. There is one teeny weeny problem though...he has her stashed in the trunk of his car, and an over zealous traffic cop, stops him for a broken taillight, and is going to make sure it gets fixed right away.

This Universal edition, which looks and sounds great by the way, is included in The Best Of Hitchcock Volume 2, with 7 of his classic films, including Vertigo and The Birds. Amazon out of stock, but look for a good deal from a seller and scoop it up. Or look for it sold separately.When buying from outside sellers, make sure first, that you are getting the Universal release - there are some imports out there.

A Classic Treasure...Gooood Evening!.....Laurie
