- From the late-night television talk show "Tomorrow with Tom Snyder".
In this conversation, Hitchcock shares, among other things, some pranks he has played on others and tells some scary stories. Hitchcock was at this point in his career a year after the premiere of "Frenzy" and three years before the completion of his last film, "Family Plot," in 1976.
Sir Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) was an English filmmaker. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense", he became as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations (Wikipedia).
The world's greatest "talk show". In the 70's, my parents would be asleep. I would wake up, go down hall past my folks room, pass the living and den room, dining room, and make my way to the kitchen. I would pull out the pocket door and close it, ever so slightly. Then I would watch, The Tomorrow Show.
I was in my teens. My parents did indeed catch me. But only a few times.
Caught by parent's?... in the 70's!? ☠
@@Mr.Goodkat Yea. You know; A mom and a dad. Parents. And yes...The 70's. You know, after the 60's and before the 80's.
@@mr.c8033 Ah, right....*those* 70's. 🤨
no clue what the other person is on about, but anyway, OP, for us younger crowd, what is a pocket door?
@@Mr.Goodkat Yes. LOL. They weren't IN their 70's. The 1970's. Great freakin' time.
I never missed this talk show back in the day. I loved Tom Snyder. He had a great sense of humor.
Me too!
Wonderful to hear Hitchcock. The story about the car breaking down is The Visitor by Roald Dahl.
I love Closed Captioning. Ingred Bergman became Angry Bird. 😂
"Alfred Hitchcock Presents" cycles on TV now and then. Hitchcock gives an opening and closing monologue--always witty, even funny. Anything but dully serious.
He's right about communication. Today there's too much.
I'm a huge fan of Hitchcock but if I had to listen to his voice and cadence, day in and day out, it would've driven me nuts.
Great to see & hear Hitchcock.
His many chins are hypnotic!
What an intriguing man he was, ask him a silly question you will get answers that make you look more stupid without getting angry or offensive.
The trouble with harry was a great film.
There really was only one Alfred Hirchcock, such an interesting and unusual fella.
First question Snyder asks Hitch is what scares HIM? After all these years of scaring us.
The perfect question. Instead of saving for the last, Tom was so brilliant he knew to kick it off with a bang!
Fabulous
Tom Snyder was the MAN !
I wish he knew that himself but he always questioned
He was the greatest TV interviewer.
Strangers on a Train is my favorite.
I have recently become obsessed with Hitchcock's films
As much as I love Tippi Hedren as an actress and a beautiful lady, I feel sorry for Hitch for not being able to speak for himself regarding Tippi's accusations (she did attend his AFI Tribute and his funeral after stopped working with Hitch)
We ought to listen to evidence on both sides instead of just listening to solely one before judging a person
RIP, Hitch
Agree!!
@@intoaruti agree. she has bashed him for years. she was just a loc
al model. after her paid contract was up she had the rest of her life. without him we would never know Melanie or Dakota
.
Quit placing people so high on a pedestal.
They'll only fall on you.
I absolutely loved Alfred Hitch, Psycho, North by Northwest, the Birds, Strangers on a train, Vertigo, Frenzy, shadow of a doubt were my favorites he w as an absolute genius.
Great classic footage. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant.
GOOD EVENING
Even then, when a subject starts talking about bad news being propogated for bad news sakes, the interviewer wants to cut to commercial.
Thanks so much for posting.
legend
thank you!!!
Alfred Hitchcock age 73 & Tom Snyder age 37
He's so low-key, I'd love to see how he was on set.
I think Rear Window is one of the most brilliant movies ever...
Show episode was 1973; 51 years ago.
I don't recall seeing the early Tom Snyder like this. I did enjoy his show and a few others. Today's show are pale imitations. The art of conversation has degraded considerably.
Genius
With out being prepared.
He talked about TVs. How we talk about smartphones now
The reason why Hitchcock sounds so frightened in this interview is because he remembers what he saw happen to artists in America during the McCarthy years. Their careers were destroyed. It could happen to any artist or anyone.
As much as I like Tippi Hedren (a talented actress and a classic beauty), I somehow have a lot of reservations about her accusations of Hitch (it was rather unfair to “tell” people in a memoir long after Hitch was gone, where Hitch could no longer defend himself)
I share your sentiments exactly. To me, it comes across as her trying to regain some of her lost fame by ruining his name.
Funny that Kim Novak called Hitch, a perfect gentleman. And she was an even more glamorous blonde beauty than Tippi Hedren. And Hedren went to Hitch's AFI life achievement ceremony, and want to his funeral.
I'm calling BS on that story.
Most memoirs contain stories about deceased persons. You don't have to take any one writer's account at face value, but by reading several acoounts of a person who interests me, I hope to get a reasonably good picture of what he or she was like. I think it is established that Hitchcock had a creepy side.
It's easier to throw mud on someone's name and ruin their reputation when they aren't able to defend themselves. Look how many people have been "outed" as being gay or whatever long after they're dead and conveniently can't say anything one way or the other. It's a coward's way of getting back at someone that they didn't have the guts to do while the person was alive. He sexually harassed her yet she went to his funeral and his AFI award ceremony? No one else saw him acting that way that worked with him? Yeah. Tell us another one, lady.
@@lonestar6709 Agreed.
It's now tomorrow here on NBC, what's the meaning of phrase, can anyone please help me with understanding of the latter mentioned sentence?
The Tomorrow Show was run starting at 1 AM in the eastern and pacific time zones;
midnight in central and mountain. So, if you were watching, it was "tomorrow"
because the new calendar day begins at midnight.
Someone at the network must have thought himself quite clever for coming up with that.
One of my favourite announcements came from radio station KSL in Salt Lake City.
Its frequency is 1160. In times long gone, you would hear that the time was 11.60 ---
thus both midnight and frequency were stated in one simple sentence.
I wonder what that piece of morse code was, just before the commercial break, at around 15:46 or 47?
Perhaps some kind of audio cue, as it was just before a snippet of the Psycho score started to play?
Those tones were the alert to stations that an ad break was coming.
I remember sometimes seeing a flashing white square dot
at the top right corner of the screen that served the same purpose.
During a live network transmission the control operator at each station has to be "on his toes"
to switch the network feed on and off so that local ads can be run.
There is almost no margin for error. Timing has to be precise.
Now, of course, there are more modern methods.
@@spacemissing Very interesting, or at least I find it interesting. Thank you for the info!
I find it very interesting that we see a lot of black men dating white women, but we very rarely see white men dating black women. ?
Gee, I cant believe the black women that fall at my feet atter doing what this video says. Black guys too. Who knew?
Yes, just follow it and get all the women you want.
🎉😢😮😊
Hitchocck is so prescient. Frances Farrmer was arrested on a charge of driving without her licence (to hand). For some reason she had just grabbed the car keys and left her purse at home. Getting into an altercation with the traffic cop she was hauled into the local police station. And from that point (almost a Hitchcock film) things began to unravel. She ended up in a psychiatric ward and was submitted for electro-shock convulsive therapy. Now frankly imho the scenario stinks of subversion. I personally believe Farmer was set up because of her communist associations. Don`t forget while in high school she had won a trip to the Soviet Union. Etc. Etc. Nonetheless these things CAN happen and from the most innocent starting point.
Tom was never very good with asking questions. This last segment the second segment in the show it’s just a total waste. He was known for that type of thing. You’d be sitting there saying if I was talking to this person I’d be asking this and that but tub for some reason just didn’t get it.
Well, if nothing else he was TV-friendly; pleasant to look at, infectious laugh, nice smile and common-man relatable personality.
And still he was quite successful...
Never good asking questions? He was the freakin' BEST.
@@mr.c8033 sorry. No. Not at all.
The interviewer kind of irritated me a little bit
I hope you give Tom a few more looks. Exactly what you said is what made him so great! I felt off put by him a bit when I use to watch the show live. Then, I couldn't stop watching him. Then, I loved the dude because he was frankly, a bad-ass interviewer. The best IMO.
Fake intellectual interest.
I hope you say that because you are too young to have seen Snyder a lot when he was alive.
He was never the best, but he was good.
Late night commercial TV was never supposed to be intense; rather, it needed to be a bit loose.
PBS could get away with heavy stuff, but a lot of PBS stations went off the air
earlier than affiliates of the big three did. Yes! TV was Not all 24/7 then.
Dull pointless comment
@@spacemissing in what Universe was he _good_ ?
