"Spies,
murder, love, and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock come to life in
the style of a 1940s radio broadcast of the master of suspense's earlier
films. Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play is a triple feature,
complete with vintage commercials, that recreates a daring train chase,
a serial killer's ominous presence, and a devastating explosion through
the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring."
