![]() ![]() ![]() It remains for me one of the finest, most wonderfully creepy television shows ever aired. The musical score was by Bernard Herrmann. It starred Pat Buttram, Collin Wilcox, William Marshall, Slim Pickens and Jane Darwell, and was brilliantly directed by Norman Lloyd (who only recently passed away at age 106). It had a fine script by James Bridges which was reasonably faithful to Ray Bradbury's short story. "The Jar" was shown in 1964 on THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR. Been toying with the idea of picking the set up along with a region-free DVD player, but I'm also holding out hope that someone like Shout Factory will do a U.S. The full run got a release in the UK and Australia, I believe. And there appears to be no plans to release the remaining seasons (or any of the Alfred Hitchcock Hour). They released the first season on crappy double-sided DVDs that are prone to skipping the next four seasons were treated decently but then the sixth was released as a "print on demand" set-burned DVDs, essentially. To this day, she gets the willies thinking about it.Īs an aside, it's a real shame that Universal (I believe it's them), cares so little about AHP. It scared the living daylights out of her. My mother remembers seeing the episode as a young girl, back when it first aired. I absolutely love Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but have never seen "The Jar," so thanks for pointing this out. ![]()
