After all, I told you to ignore my first two messages. I deserve at least
one.
It is Saturday morning, and to the person who reviewed Hitchcock Presents
before me I have a few things to say.
1.) After reading your review, I went back and watched it
for a third time.
2.) YES, the dance sequence is too long. Sorry about that,
I have a weakness for watching pretty women move.
3.) YES, the final long close-up of the husband (which was
the only thing I found slightly annoying the first time
around) IS rich with black comedy.
I bow to a keener eye,

PS Sigh...Last night's twilight zone was no better than the first. Don't
bother watching. The first presented an interesting premise, and then
did absolutely nothing with it. The second was a pure (and badly done)
rip-off of that gifted writing team of Catherine L. Moore and Henry
Kuttner (husband and wife I might add (No, I'm not mnemonic. I had to
go look that up)). The stories name (as long as I'm looking things up)
is THE CURE.
As for the third story, I cannot say. I didn't bother
watching.
PS To the person who dismissed the first episode of Hitchcock Presents as
"predictable", I suggest you go look in a mirror. If you find yourself
resembling an Idaho potato do not be surprised.
