The Paris Theater is proud to present two of the most memorable episodes of the series produced and hosted by Alfred Hitchcock, Alfred Hitchcock Presents:

A Crime for Mothers
In a mesmerizing performance with shades of her Academy Award-winning turn in Key Largo (1948), “Queen of Noir” Claire Trevor stars as a tragic alcoholic that hatches an extortion plot against the couple that adopted her child. The dark episode with a grim twist represents a reunion between director and star, as Trevor headlined Ida Lupino’s third feature film behind the camera, Hard, Fast and Beautiful (1951).  CBS. Production: An Alfred Hitchcock Production. Producer: Joan Harrison. Director: Ida Lupino. Writer: Henry Slesar With: Alfred Hitchcock, Claire Trevor, Patricia Smith, Howard McNear. (DCP, 30 min.)
 

Man from the South
Alfred Hitchcock serves only as host for this notable episode (one of the most memorable of the entire series) directed by his gifted protege, multi-hyphenate industry legend Norman Lloyd (St. Elsewhere). Based on the short story by Roald Dahl, the macabre teleplay stars movie icon Steve McQueen and his then-partner Neile Adams as a couple that becomes entangled in a horrific bet with an unusual stranger, played by the incomparable Peter Lorre.  CBS. Production: Shamley Productions. Producer: Joan Harrison. Associate Producer: Norman Lloyd. Director: Norman Lloyd. Writers: William Fay, Roald Dahl. With: Alfred Hitchcock, Steve McQueen, Peter Lorre, Neile Adams. (DCP, 25 min.)
