Thank you for uploading this version.The one that usually airs on tv nowadays is censored by cutting Hugo’s last facial expression as he grins and the line which he says “Smile, Irene, smile!” which definitely added a more graphic note, both in the demented but naive nature of the character and the violence he will unknowingly perform.

I wonder how old was he in this episode? But I must say he's kind of cute.

[@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749]

@@mariavictoriasalita5273 He was born in 1942 so he was only about 20 here, and as you might already know he only lived to be 30 due to a tragic car accident: according to IMDb, he was en route to see his wife after her surgery and his camper van hit a parked truck. So ironic and tragic that his life was cut short. As far as the episode we’re discussing, it was the last of the original “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” half-hour shows, after which Hitchcock would begin his hour long format.

Nobody's willing to risk anything, that's why. They're afraid of shareholders, advertisers, angry letters from the general public, you name it. So they go with "what the public wants" and the result is cookie-cutter shows with nothing to offer. It's not all that new, though; if you read "The Making of Star Trek" you will be startled at the hand-wringing (by network executives) that Gene Roddenberry had to deal with in getting *that* show on the air.

She played very different parts than Marilyn and I love them both, along with Jane Russell and Jane Mansfield, another answer to Marilyn. Diana Dors will always remain one of my favs though. Early in films she played along with Petula Clark in some of the Huggins movies in England. She was a bombshell even as a teen.

The wake up scene from 5.00 is a lesson for us all.

[@SantiagoBernebeu]

Alfred Hitchcock was a hard task master who demanded perfection from his performers, but how he allowed Diana Dors' eyes to blink after hitting her head around 21:48 - 21:52, without doing a 2nd take is strange. Anyone depicting unconsciousness, is not going to blink like that which was very noticeable. Thanks for posting as it was most enjoyable!

[@no127]

[@1dbanner]

Hitchcock didn't direct this particular episode

[@jennifer60515]

Hitch wasn’t the director. I think most of the time he just introduces the episodes.

[@joannebeauchamp1169]

One of the problems with TV today, is that so many so-called “actors” simply can’t act! They are just a bunch of POSERS who MUG for the camera! The rest of the TV programming is wasted on “Reality” shows that have NOTHING to do with reality. In Alfred Hitchcock’s day, to even be CONSIDERED for a TV show like, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” in 1961, you had to really KNOW how to ACT! At that time, a lot of the actors came from the theater, and even movies, and were highly TRAINED in the acting profession. Watch this show, and see for yourself!

Some of the same “stock” music was also used in the background and bridging-scene segments of some shows and easily recognized in the “Beaver” and “Hitch” episodes, as well as “Father Knows Best” and others. While we’re at it, cartoons often used stock music which was shared by tv sitcoms…one example was a theme by John Seely used in a Roadrunner cartoon, but later it became the title theme for “Dennis the Menace”.
