Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Three DVD Review (2007)

Among the week's best new releases, with 39 episodes that appeared during the 1957-58 CBS television season.

Hitchcock himself delivers the introductions and closing moments with his inimitable style.

The shows are as twisted as you expect, with several highlights worth noting--“The Perfect Crime" with Vincent Price; “The Diplomatic Corpse" with Peter Lorre and George Peppard; Barbara Bel Geddes in "The Foghorn" and "Lamb to the Slaughter"; Gary Merrill in "Flight to the East"; Jessica Tandy in "The Canary Sedan"; and Hitchcock’s own daughter, Patricia, in "Silent Witness."

So, hardly a sorry bunch--and, as it turns out, a must for the fan.

Grade: A-
