Hitchcock #5: Fletcher Markle interviews Hitchcock
.
This Fletcher Markle (1921-1991) interview with Alfred Hitchcock appeared January 2, 1964 on the CBC series Telescope, which Markle produced. Also interviewed in part two is Joan Harrison (1907-1994), the creative force behind Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Busy making movies, Hitchcock only directed 17 episodes of that series, which Harrison produced. She was married to novelist Eric Ambler for 36 years. This is the only interview with her I've ever seen.

Director-producer-writer-actor-announcer Markle made his mark in 1947 as the director of CBS radio's hour-long Studio One (launched with an adaptation of Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano), and he moved to TV with that series in 1948. Markle was married to Mercedes McCambridge from 1950 to 1962 and thus adopted her child, John Lawrence Markle. In 1987, John Markle killed his wife, his two daughters and himself, as detailed here.
