Hollywood grows old and makes and draws out the genius in Hitchcock, 15 August 2006

I am waiting for this type of entertainment to return to television. The psychological profiles of the characters are as defined as you can get. While the plot has a predictability to it...Hitchcock hooks you into wanting to see the details. This episode comes at a time when Hollywood becomes fascinated with the decay of giants like Bette Davis, etc., etc....in fact,there is a kind of 'What Happened to Baby Jane' in this episode. Hollywood rose up from the 20's and told it's own story of growing old...like the pool scene in the this episode. How it is empty and molded. These are the films and television that I loved as a child...real drama and tragedy drawn from "real" life yet, "unreal" life experiences of Hollywood people that were...as they remain, a million light years away from my own experience. This was Hollywood at it's finest and Hitchcock was it's best talent at the time.
