Alfred Hitchcock Presents1955

[introduction]

Alfred Hitchcock:
[upside down] Good evening. This is Alfred Hitchcock speaking to you from the bottom of the world. I mention this so that if snow should appear on your screen, you won't waste time adjusting your set. Ah. [a St. Bernard with a barrel around its neck walks on] Man's best friend. And a dog, too. Even though I have all the comforts of home, I'm afraid it is time for our play, and I wouldn't want everyone to watch this standing on his head. [snaps fingers; suddenly he's right side up and the dog is gone] Well, we seem to have lost the dog, but it's nice to feel the blood rushing to my feet again. Ladies and gentlemen, here, proper side up, is our story, "A Little Sleep."
