Another first-rate season of mystery, suspense and sometimes horror
"Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Five" contains 38 episodes from the 1959-1960 season, including two -- "Arthur" and "The Crystal Trench" -- directed by Hitchcock himself.<br /><br />The shows are presented in the concise, half-hour format.  Hitchcock introduces and closes each program with humorous comments about the story at hand.  Some stars in Season Five episodes are Dick Van Dyke, Laurence Harvey, Robert Vaughn, William Shatner, Hermione Gingold, Joseph Cotten, Walter Matthau, Dick York, Raymond Massey, Mary Astor, and Suzanne Pleshette.  The Hitchcock shows were known for their twist or ironic endings and included mysteries, humorous tales, suspense yarns, ghost stories, and the occasional horror tale.<br /><br />There are a number of standout episodes in Season Five. In Roald Dahl's "Man From the South," a fellow (Steve McQueen) agrees to an unusual wager that could result in the loss of more than cash.  In "Specialty of the House," a gourmand (Robert Morley) eagerly desires to become a life member of an ultra-exclusive gourmet club and to see inside the usually off-limits kitchen.  "Special Delivery" is a creepy tale about a young boy who orders mushrooms through the mail and raises them as his parents begin to suspect their presence in the house is causing odd changes in their son.  "Escape to Sonoita" is an ironic take on human nature as two truck drivers (Burt Reynolds, James Bell) in the Arizona desert encounter kidnappers who steal their truck and leave them to die.<br /><br />Hitchcock's introductions and post-epsode commentary are always witty and original.  Hitchcock was busy making feature films ("North By Northwest," "Psycho") while his show was on the air, so he didn't have time to direct every episode.  His contract allowed him to direct only those he had a particular fondness for.  Other directors were hired for the balance of each season's episodes.
