(NBC Primetime, 1957 - 1959; Syndicated) [The series was another production distributed by MCA-Revue Studios from Alfred Hitchock's Shamley Productions, which produced "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" which aired on CBS and "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" on NBC. Unfortunately, Mr. Hitchcock didn't get as involved in this series, and it suffered from his lack of personal touch. It started out as a live series, but later episodes were made on film (Revue Studios' specialty.) The first host was Dennis O'Keefe who was replaced in the final season by Walter Abel]
