Alfred Hitchcock Presents, as I remember it, is a good show.

This era isn't called the Golden Age of Television for nothing.

We recommend the viewing of these small prehistoric jewels of the black and white screen. [Full review in Spanish]

Hitchcock, the master of suspense, brought a brilliantly acted, neatly directed drama to the TV screens for the first in his series, that had everything except an ending.
September 26, 2018
Even today, the show keeps an amazing mood of suspense, and almost every episode will keep you at the edge of your seat.

[Hitchcock] directed only a handful of shows... but his personality is stamped on the whole run in the dry, sardonic, mordant introduction.
September 28, 2018
Hitchcock rarely directed, confining himself to inane introductions. But many of the suspense stories-written by such masters as Ray Bradbury and Robert Bloch-are quirky, tight masterpieces.

Breakdown, with Joseph Cotten is a well-nigh Beckettian vision of doom, shot in grotesque close-ups and with a desperate inner monologue that anticipates the chilling voice at the end of Psycho.
September 25, 2018
But the real gem is Breakdown (1955), a minimalist tour de force starring (and narrated by) Joseph Cotten as a businessman paralyzed in a car wreck; it belongs among Hitchcock's neglected masterpieces.
September 28, 2018
Anti-television at its finest.
September 26, 2018
Season 1 features actors like Joseph Cotten, Joanne Woodward, John Forsythe, Cloris Leachman, and Claude Rains (as well as a struggling young thespian named Aaron Spelling), but the man in the silhouette steals the show.

The last thing I expected was addictive entertainment.
