| | Posted: | | | | I've recently bought 3 boxes with the first season of The Alfred Hitchcock hour (1962 tv series similar to Alfred Hitchcock presents). They are PAL Italian Editions but on the dvd is present the original english soundtrack, too. While adding them to the database, i've searched for similar editions all over the world, to see if i can "steal" some info on cast and crew for the single episodes. To my surprise there is no entry for these boxes worldwide, except of course Italy (because i've made them myself).
Is it possibile that the series has never been released yet in usa or uk? I can't believe it ... | | | | I can resist everything but temptation. |

| | Posted: | | | | Here's the EAN code for the italian versions:
box 1 5050582567533
box 2 5050582567540
box 3 5050582567557
You can also search by title "L'ora di Alfred Hitchcock"
The last one was submitted a few hours ago and is not yet in the database.
With a quick research on google i've found this: http://www.dvdavenue.tv/movie/drama/The_Alfred_Hitchcock_Hour.html it seems the same set of dvd with diff'rent covers from the PAL ones. | | | | I can resist everything but temptation. | | | | Last edited: by locutus2k |

| | Posted: | | | | Well, the ones i have submitted (PAL versions) are 100% legally printed editions by Universal.
And i must add: PQ of the dvd i have is very very good (not a vhs translation or something similar). | | | | I can resist everything but temptation. | | | | Last edited: by locutus2k |

Found them for sale here. Yes this is one of them. The store info are all wrong (there's english too in the soundtrack and nowhere on the box there's written "Code area 2") ... but that store is not dvdprofiler, isn'it?  | | | | I can resist everything but temptation. |

I don't know how 'legal' these are. its also clear they have taken these from the TV since they advertise them as being without the adverts. And I love the screen format - normal...  | | | | Paul |
