Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Sorcerer's Apprentice (1962)

I've Got The Wand Now!


This is possibly the best Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode filmed. It's good to see this one again. I used to watch AF Presents as a teenager (reruns of course) - I feel in-love with the show. It's been years since I've seen it and acquired this episode in a film pack along with the episode "The Cheney Vase". Watched both of them and love them still. I will admit "Sorcerer's Apprentice" is the best of the two shows.

This one is very suspenseful and mysterious. It concerns a magician (Sadini), his assistant and lover (Irene), her boyfriend on the side (George) and a simple boy that does not know any better (Hugo). The boy, Hugo, is a good boy but he thinks that Sadini is the devil and finds Irene beautiful and an angel - so pretty that he would do things just for her. What happens at the end is quite fitting for ____ - I won't say who you will have to watch and find out for yourself.

10/10
