Paralyzed, pinned in an auto wreck, and unable to speak, Cotton is presumed dead by all who encounter him! His frantic thoughts, communicated only to the audience, prove otherwise. Unforgettable!<br /><br />Experience it one day!<br /><br />Joe.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-77517147485495667412010-09-02T14:58:55.667-04:002010-09-02T14:58:55.667-04:00Joe,

Hitchcock actually directed more episodes of the TV show than one might think at first, which impressed me. Here was one filmmaker who apparently did not regard TV as a sort of communicable disease!<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-78942737200800453402010-08-31T21:02:46.084-04:002010-08-31T21:02:46.084-04:00You should also get a taste of the ALFRED HITCHCOC...You should also get a taste of the ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS TV show. <br /><br />It’s anything but a clone of Twilight Zone, despite the similarities in format. It came first, by several years. <br /><br />I had only the vaguest memories of it before I got the DVDs. I’m now a big fan! It’s definitely worth a look on your part – even though I spoiled the surprise of a Carl Barks comic book cameo, in one of my Blog entries.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
