And we'd walk,
and I'd always come by.

:31:04
I'd say, ''Oh, look.''
:31:07
The guys were flabbergasted.
:31:12
ln the course of making Saboteur,
:31:15
l'm proud to say that Hitchcock
and l became good friends.

:31:20
And, subsequently,
he cast me in Spellbound.

:31:25
Then, in 1957,
:31:27
he had been put in the television
business by MCA.

:31:39
Good evening.
:31:40
And he was the star of the show.
:31:42
He was on every week,
and... he loved it.

:31:55
At the end of the second year,
there was a series called Suspicion,

:31:59
and they felt that they needed more
help in the making of these pictures,

:32:04
as well as doing
Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

:32:06
And in those days,
we'd do 39 of them, half hour shows.

:32:11
So, they sent for me and put me into
this position as associate producer .

:32:16
Eventually, l became producer
and then executive producer.

:32:21
What I loved when I worked
with him was,

:32:24
if he was pleased,
:32:26
there would be a kind of twinkle
in his eye

:32:30
at what he saw.
:32:32
And if you could produce that twinkle
in his eye you knew you were OK.

:32:39
When Hitchcock developed
this story ...

:32:42
which he developed initially
others wrote it ...

:32:46
he was very much influenced
by himself,

:32:48
namely his first really big hit,
which was The 39 Steps.

:32:54
The structure of that piece is a hero
:32:56
who is mistakenly fingered as
a guilty man and therefore has to flee.
