The "Master of Suspense", Alfred Hitchcock was the host of the long-running drama anthology "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." It ran for 10 years in both half hour and hour episodes and to me Hitchcock's opening and closing remarks set the scene for success.
What I remember the most about the show was the opening sequence with just an outline of Hitchcock's profile on the screen followed by the veteran director filling the profile. Then they cut to a bizarre location where Hitchcock delivered his opening monologue that concluded with a lead-in to the commercial. One that I remember was when he said "It will follow this one minute anesthetic." Following the commercial began the story and then the show concluded with a wrap up from Hitchcock.
Many veteran actors and actresses appeared in episodes,though too numerous to mention. Even though I didn't get into a lot of the episodes since I'm not much of a suspense fan, I really enjoyed Hitchcock's opening and closing sequences. Fortunately, Antenna TV is rerunning the shows, so viewers can relive one of the great all-time drama anthology shows. Good night.
