This was played straight without a trace of tongue-in-cheek humor, yet never once do you want to snicker. You really do feel as though the ventriloquist's heart is breaking. A fine performance by Claude Rains.
Claude Rains, a fine actor especially enjoyed him with Betty Davis, in Mrs. Skeffington, truly a wonderful movie. So sad today the movie industry is lacking in the greatness that was once in the making of the movies of years gone by. The uniqueness of the actors and actresses, their is none today. It's all trash, violence and vulgarity. Thank God for reruns on utube.
Always liked Claude Rains. There was a film festival years ago, and I think Rains' daughter was in the audience. When he appeared onscreen, the audience erupted in applause. She said it was so gratifying to see how people remembered, and loved her father..
This one was sad to me, that someone's mind can get that bad. And of course they don't even realize or understand that they are not in their right mind anymore.
The great Claude Rains, dramas with Bette Davis, a star in Casablanca, Ceasar to Vi Leigh's Cleopatra, the Invisible Man & Phantom of the Opera, to Lawrence of America from the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood) - one of the very few masters who NEVER gave a bad performance.
OMG Your comment is exactly what l was going to say. 🤣 what a luxury this is. Has Claude Raines been overtaken by anyone as being _the best actor of all time?_ one wonders 🤔
Ah Claude was always good. I'm sure he was the one that made the following saying famous..." round up the usual suspects". And Charles, yes, he made a big name for himself later.
-Ray Bradbury had a half hour TV show(The Ray Bradbury Theater) of 26 total episodes. Each week in color that showed this same episode as Alfred Hitchcock but a little bit better. (And so died Riabouchinska).Based on an original story and written by Ray Bradbury. Staring Alan Bates as Fabian also staring Jean-Pierre Kalfon & Patti Layne.
What a tempered performance! If anybody other than Claude Rains had played this role, it would have come out too syrupy, maudlin, and just plain unbelievable. The quality of his acting is extraordinary for a mere TV show like the Hitchcock series.🤠
For Full Episodes find Public Domain TV on RUclips. These shortened version Keep the Important Scenes & Cut Intros & End Credits. Raines & Bronson are great.
Claude Rains he was something.....Never seen a bad film....Charles Bronson... Brilliant....Keep your TV.....👍We might get Betty Davies next... Thankyou for video 🌹
Great episode from Alfred Hitchcock ! I have an interest in ventriloquism and I'd like to get into building ventriloquist figures. Does anyone happen to know who built Riabuchinska ? I was thinking maybe Frank Marshall could've possible been the builder....I know he was a top figure builder back in the day during the 1950's, I do know he was based here in Chicago. I hope someone can help me with this info. TIA 💪🏾
Claude Reins and Charles Bronson,.. incredible acting. Hitchcock used Claude before as a priest. He was great then also. I've seen several Bronson shows at this age. He was destined to be great
east side Why, he was so hot when he was younger! Who am I kidding, he was hot when he was old! So you think that Charles Bronson would really want this deleted and not any of the sequels to Death Wish? That’s coming from a hard-core Bronson fan. It’s like Sylvester Stallone beat Rocky to death. It’s like Bruce Willis with Die Hard seriously, how hard can you die? 😂🤣😂 Have a nice day. 😊
IM NO PSYCHIATRIST BUT I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT RIABOCHINSKA IS FEBIAN'S CONSCIENCE HIS GUILT (AND TRULY LAST VESTIGE OF SANITY REMAINING IN HIS LOST MIND) PERSONIFIED
catalina de la cruz thank you. I think Claude Raines was in several Hitchcock episodes. Charles Bronson held his own with Raines in one of the better episodes in the series.

Is that Charles Bronson? Yeah, it is! He was so young. That’s why I love these old shows; you can see the beginnings of actors you love.
He was pretty handsome, wasn't he?
Don't forget Claude Raines. He was a great actor and the voice of The Invisible Man ,a 1940s horror movie. It's probably on U Tube.
@@paulinebuckles2310 agree
Right you know the voice

This episode is very strange
One of THE MOST diverse, classical actors of all time. 👏👏👏 Never miss a CR movie. Never disappointed.
A great actor!! I loved him in another Hitchcock gem which is Notorious with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman
Love Claude in all his roles. His characters are so loveable.
Captivated by Claude Rains performance in this... Great job.
Creepy dolls are my favorite subjects.
I've always wondered if that doll is still around. What a collector's item it would make!
This one was sad to me, that someone's mind can get that bad. And of course they don't even realize or understand that they are not in their right mind anymore.
I thought it was sad too.
Please don't bring politics into this. I'm sure Biden is quite confident in doing his job.
A convincing performance by Claude Rains, and the mannerisms of the puppet.
Claude Raines is an awesome actor. I love his movies. Charles Bronson too love them both
Love Claude Reins a fantastic actor. He was great with Bette Davis.
Riabochinska is a beautiful doll indeed!
Whoever made her was truly talented. I'm not sure but I think she does not exist anymore. Hope I'm wrong.
OMG!!! Think this is one of the best Hitchcock ever!!!!
Wow. Both of these incredible actors in one film!!
The great Claude Rains, dramas with Bette Davis, a star in Casablanca, Ceasar to Vi Leigh's Cleopatra, the Invisible Man & Phantom of the Opera, to Lawrence of America from the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood) - one of the very few masters who NEVER gave a bad performance.
Ric Marzano I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Claude Rains is SUPERB
Claude Rains was the master... his voice his tone, his composure... pur magic...
The comments always talk about how great the acting was in these old shows.
Wow, this was a chilling story, I felt so sad for the Raines character xoxo
I love the contrast between the mad romantic Raines and the hard-headed, no BS Bronson. Great scenes!
This is a masterpiece
So the Ventriloquist has two personalities. The second personality talk through the doll
Charles Bronson!! Always loved this guy. Great actor..❤️
I really enjoy these "shorts." Basically, the entire plot has been condensed into half the time...
Wow. Ray Bradbury helped write this. I had no idea. It IS very Bradbury.
I think the point of these: "shortvies" is you can watch a whole: "movie" in your tea break: great idea.
Yes, I like 'em short n sweet!
💋I agree they are like trailers if u like it u watch the hole thing🎬. With Alfred I like them all.I 🌟
Quibi lost $2 billion thinking this was a good idea
Wow this was one of the best shorties out of them all claude raines and a young C Bronson
thx for uploading
Charles Bronson also appeared in movie "The House of Wax" with Vincent Price.
Bronson plays in three episodes of Alfred Hitchcock presents
The Twilight Zone too, with Elizabeth Montgomery
Don't know if I ever saw Charles Bronson in his younger days.
Thank you miss those great actors, great short flick❤😘
Claude Raines👍👍👍and Charles Bronson👍👍👍
OMG Your comment is exactly what l was going to say. 🤣 what a luxury this is. Has Claude Raines been overtaken by anyone as being _the best actor of all time?_ one wonders 🤔
The greatest 2 actors on a film working together, freakin' awesome!!!!
Claude Rains is amazing as Fabian the Ventriloquist! Outstanding performance!
One of my favorites from the series.

jeanne hageman
Me too but for different reasons ha ha Ha ☺️😳🙄🤦🏻♀️
Ah Claude was always good. I'm sure he was the one that made the following saying famous..." round up the usual suspects". And Charles, yes, he made a big name for himself later.
Superb acting first class from ANN
Claude Rains + Charles Bronson ….couldn’t ask for more ❤

Wow! Ray Bradbury had a show I would love to see that.
2 stars--CLAUDE RAINES MY FAVORITE----so remembered
His acting along with his phrasing and diction is impeccable and moving.
What a tempered performance! If anybody other than Claude Rains had played this role, it would have come out too syrupy, maudlin, and just plain unbelievable. The quality of his acting is extraordinary for a mere TV show like the Hitchcock series.🤠

I love Hitchcock
Thanks for sharing 💜🖤
Why are these all half-shows?!
you know charles b has perfect lips omg
Charles Bronson sure was a looker
Charles Bronson the Giant and incredible, the real Hero...
Great actors in a great piece of Hitchcock.😊
Was Charles Bronson ever young.
Marland Kennedy
Right???!!!! Lol 😂
RIP Paul Kersey the 👑 of “Death Wish”
No. He came out looking that way!
Best show
Claude Rains such a great actor. I liked him with Bette Davis
Now Voyager....👍
Excellent!
I Lay In The Box & Listen😲
This is much, much better than Ray Bradbury theatre. Almost original story.
How come when it comes in they are in the middle of a sentence ? Its crazy!
Claude Rains he was something.....Never seen a bad film....Charles Bronson... Brilliant....Keep your TV.....👍We might get Betty Davies next... Thankyou for video 🌹
So he use a doll to confess his crime smh
Great episode from Alfred Hitchcock ! I have an interest in ventriloquism and I'd like to get into building ventriloquist figures. Does anyone happen to know who built Riabuchinska ? I was thinking maybe Frank Marshall could've possible been the builder....I know he was a top figure builder back in the day during the 1950's, I do know he was based here in Chicago. I hope someone can help me with this info. TIA 💪🏾
Yeah he crazy as HELL>....LOL
I just recognized Charles Bronson too, Irish and Mexican like Martin Sheen.
Dang, dat man, he nuttier than 2 jars o peanut butter!!!
CLAUDE RAINS REALLY TUGS AT ALL THE EMOTIONS IN THIS PERFORMANCE ESPECIALLY AT THE HEART YOU FEEL SORRY FOR HIM
Wow, burnt her whole wardrobe? Now that's cold
Doll looks like Jean Simmons
When actors were strong on their own....not green screens!
They use green screens to show certain action scenes or whatever. It don't have anything to do with whether the actress or actor could act or not.
Where are the full episodes?
I'd like to see them, too.
The man has some diffidently emotional problems.
insane worked back then
Perfect kit voice perfect kit
Claude Reins and Charles Bronson,.. incredible acting. Hitchcock used Claude before as a priest. He was great then also. I've seen several Bronson shows at this age. He was destined to be great
Creepy...
Such excellent actors ❤
That was sad.
( fanning self). Chuckie Bronson 😉
Positive Charles Bronson wanted this clip on him deleted
east side
Why, he was so hot when he was younger! Who am I kidding, he was hot when he was old! So you think that Charles Bronson would really want this deleted and not any of the sequels to Death Wish? That’s coming from a hard-core Bronson fan. It’s like Sylvester Stallone beat Rocky to death. It’s like Bruce Willis with Die Hard seriously, how hard can you die? 😂🤣😂
Have a nice day. 😊
Definitely not. He had three appearances on Alfred Hitchcock presents
The Chef Jacques Pipan looks like Claude Rains.
Love you hawkins
Dod we miss the first part?
Interesting/entertaining. A talented acting pair-!!!😉.
Originally a story by the great Ray Bradbury.
The poor doll swallowed termites and took the easy way out
How creepy
WOW A YOUNG CHARLES BRONSON!! 👍👍 BEFORE THE DEATH WISHES.
I bought new wood
Larry Rubin 😂🤣🤐
Broken heart syndrome
IM NO PSYCHIATRIST BUT I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT RIABOCHINSKA IS FEBIAN'S CONSCIENCE HIS GUILT (AND TRULY LAST VESTIGE OF SANITY REMAINING IN HIS LOST MIND) PERSONIFIED
ya think?
@@plasticweapon Upon reading the comment, I said the very same thing, you said, lol!
Who was the actress who provided the puppet’s voice?
Steven Bosch Virginia Gregg I believe
catalina de la cruz thank you. I think Claude Raines was in several Hitchcock episodes. Charles Bronson held his own with Raines in one of the better episodes in the series.
Episódios reduzido à metade. Por que não os apresentar completos? Esses episódios nunca tiveram apenas 10 ou 12 minutos. Estão pela metade aqui.
Charles Brunson as a young man
Charles Bronson long long time before he filled his socks with coins ❤️😍
THE GREAT CLAUDE RAINS.
two great actors...claude rains is the best
creepy lol
Claude Reigns 💯
No
He's koo- koo...😳
