After a couple of years of seemingly abandoning the effort of putting Alfred Hitchcock Presents out on DVD, it is good to finally see Universal putting the fourth season out. The Master of Suspense actually only directed two episodes this season, but it might interest you to know that one of the big stars of the 1940's, Casablanca's Paul Henreid, really showed his talent behind the camera by directing four episodes this season and a total of 28 for the series run. Another very good director, Arthur Hiller, directed another five. You'll notice stars this season that are just coming into their own or will in the next few years such as Elizabeth Montgomery, Steve McQueen, and Dick York. You'll also spot stars of the big screen making guest appearances such as Claude Rains, Bette Davis, her husband at the time Gary Merrill, Everett Sloane, Franchot Tone, Mary Astor, and even Fay Wray. Writers for the season include Roald Dahl and Ray Bradbury.
I have childhood memories of being scared out of my wits by the Twilight Zone, since that show's scripts were not bound by natural law. Alfred Hitchcock, however, stays within the natural bounds of what is possible and explores the darkness of man's heart. Since just about every episode involves murder with motive, you'd think that the episodes would get old, but they don't. I heartily recommend this season for fans of Hitchcock and classic TV in general.
