Darren McGavin was one of my favorite actors, thank you, especially The Night Stalker.

[@alcoholic2412]

Me too.

[@kevinvilmont6061]

Kolchack “The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler” are both great.

[@rogereisnaugle6012]

He was good in that Christmas Story movie.

[@jeffolsen4983]

Also as Mike Hammer in the TV series. In it he is almost the same character as he later became in Kolchak.

[@Julie-sl8ul]

He plays his characters so well that a person can hate HIM. That's talent!

[@charlottewilson3031]

I always loved how he bashed the commercial sponsors

[@brendaleigh7834]

I love Darren McGavin! 💕

[@wendyhannan2454]

Yes, he was a great actor, I haven’t seen him in a movie for many many years. He also had a great speaking voice, I love the old black and white movies. They were fabulous actors back in those days.

[@rhondae8222]

I'm a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock and his movies. 😊

[@dawnwinther376]

Same in my household too. 😊 This will be a nice watch for the weekend.

[@jacquelinejanz8466]

I am, as well. Love his films, and his quirky personality‼️

[@thisisme3238]

Me too! Grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock.

[@svalbard01]

More Hitchcock please!

[@AABB-bm9kk]

Carolyn Jones is almost unrecognizable with short blond hair and no Morticia persona. As Jon Lovitz used to say on SNL: “Acting! “ 🥰😀

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Wow, I knew she looked familiar but couldn't place her!

[@fepeerreview3150]

Check out a film called A Hole in the Head, with her and Frank Sinatra. She was really versatile. She also played the victim, a sort of 1890s coquette, in Vincent Price's The House of Wax.

[@robertmudrow8034]

She's instantly recognisable but looks a bit odd as a blond. She looked good in any hairstyle. Check King Creole.

[@mjp96]

She's as beautiful as always, and fine acting.

[@rhondae8222]

I love Carolyn Jones (Morticia) from the Addams Family.

[@malimom6011]

Thanks for Hitchcock!!!! Love everything he does. I watched this show when I was a little girl....

[@PizzaFLIX]

Hi Deb, so did I, except I was a little boy.

[@mjrchapin]

Hitchcock was on a US chat show, maybe Dick Cavett, I don't recall. The host asked Why did you come to America? Hitchcock: It was part of a cultural exchange program. Host: Well what did the US send in exchange?" Hitchcock: Nobody knows; they're afraid to open it.

[@karenhope6986]

LOL...what a great, wry sense of humor!

[@theonlybuzz1969]

If you think this is good, listen to the audio book on Audible about Hitchcocks life. Called the twelve lives of Alfred Hitchcock. Has loads of insights into the history of Alfred i

[@fortysomethingbadgirls2173]

I love it. She played him at his own game....

[@watchwaddle]

Awesome. I love Alfred Hitchcock. I remember watching these shows on Nick At Nite in the early 90’s.

I only wish there was a little more to it, but still a good one.

[@joannecarpenter8725]

Marvelous ending! Another Fantastic Hitchcock plot!

[@bradfordrusso7480]

The Cheney Vase ... Starring Lon Chaney as Dick Cheney. And Ruta Lee as the "clinging brunette" from Agatha Christie / Charles Laughton film "Witness For The Prosecution".

[@dancingpixie6120]

I thought that was Carolyn Jones!! I miss this kind of TV.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

The Night Stalker and Morticia Addams? Cool!

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

We looked forward to these every week. Back then, TV was good (I loved Playhouse 90) and movies were still good.

A 1955 production ! Hitchcock is before his time.

[@davidarundel6187]

Keep looking for Mr Hitchcock's cameo's, and miss them - even when the television series were running , and his movies prior to that . A good excuse to watch good work again .

[@davidlium9338]

I have heard that Hitchcock always put a cameo of himself in every movie.

[@kathleenjohnson2383]

[@elaineteeter9485]

I love Patricia Collinge in everything she did. I especially thought she was wonderful as poor frightened Aunt Birdie in The Little Foxes with Bette Davis and Herbert Marshall.

[@bethelle9099]

Wish it hadn't ended quit then. Hate to see Darin play a bad guy. Good example of gaslighting someone!

Vintage Hitch. Never saw Darren mcGavin as a young actor, and a villain.

Darren McGavin could really play a nasty man, what a phenomenal actor.

[@paulhunter6742]

I liked him as drug pusher opposite very young Frank Sinatra in Man with the Golden Arm. Let's just say he took steep DROP during movie😅😂😮

I couldn’t watch more than 10 minutes of this show. Watching a man manipulate and control a woman through lies and false praise isn’t enjoyable entertainment.

Hitchcock stories have twist endings. Perhaps you should have waited for it.
