Great Directors On Decades

The “Decades Binge,” on the fine newer channel, Decades, featured “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour,” this past weekend.

I watched a number of episodes of the series which followed the series “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” after that series went off the air.

Most notable to me in watching some episodes,  yes they allowed us to see the credits after the show, was seeing the episode entitled “The Black Curtain” was directed by a young director, who though not quite in Mr. Hitchcock’s realm, would go on to greatness in the field.

His name: Sydney Pollack, by most accounts a truly nice man that made some great films. Think about it director Hitchcock’s name on the show and a director as great as Sydney Pollack had an early directorial credit.

Also to Decades and those responsible, thank you for showing the credits.
