Alfred Hitchcock: Self - Host

Quotes 

• [afterword] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [Hitchcock speaks somberly]  Tonight, I shall not indulge in my usual gallows humour, for this program has no desire to make light of men who have suffered because of war. This concludes tonight's show. Next time, we shall return to the scene of our crime. I hope you will join us. Good night.

• [introduction] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [Hitchcock is standing with his hands together]  Good evening ladies, gentlemen,

  [pauses] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : and those of you who arrived too late to classify. I wish to welcome you to "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." Please relax.

  [puts left hand in his pocket and wags index finger of right hand slightly] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : There is no admission charge, no cover, and no minimum.

  [camera moves in to a closer shot of Hitchcock] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : This is a non-profit organisation, profit being defined as that which is left after I take my share. Tonight's electronic floor show transports us to France, the nation noted for fine wine and um, provocative postcards. The scene is Leon's Cafe in Marseille.
