Thank you!

Even though I have an Auto-record "HITCHCOCK, ALFRED" wishlist on the TiVo, it wasn't in the To Do List because there no show description listed.

An interesting hour, but nothing I haven't heard or read many times before. Tippi is still looking good for her age though.

I don't watch Larry King ever, but does he always cut people off mid-story?

Now, which home video studio can I get Hitchcock DVDs from?
I get the impression Universal funded the whole hour...........

Larry King usually asks and answers a question before his guest has a chance to say anything.

Warner video must be pissed. He must have mentioned "available on Universal DVD" a 5 or 6 times... yet they also showed clips from Strangers on a Train and North by Northwest.


Not a bad show... it was great to see everyone on the panel (and, yes, Tippi is still lookin' mighty fine, considering).

But, Larry's obvious ignorance about the subject matter coupled with his inability to shut the hell up and let his guests talk was pretty frustrating.

Nothing special, but pleasant enough - but did anyone else feel that too many of the clips were actually spoilers?

Yeah, I noticed that too. They basically gave away the end of both Vertigo + Psycho. Granted, most viewers have already seen these movies, but still... seems like every Hitch film would have dozens of clips you could show that wouldn't spoil the end.

I'm glad I read this thread or I would have missed the show.

Yeah, Larry King came off as a tool. Jimmy Stewart in NxNW? And asking everyone the exact same question. How novel.

Still, it was good to see the stars of Hitchcock past.
