Does anyone remember the Afred Hitckcock Presents episode where Peter Lorre likes to collect severed fingers. It was later remade for the Cable Version of Hitchcock with John Huston in the Lorre role. :roll:

It was called "man from the South" and based on a story by Roald Dahl, which is one of my favorites. I've never seen the original TV version, but Lorre's antagonist was Steve McQueen. I thought the Eighties version, which took place in Las Vegas, was mostly junk.

So far, only seasons I and II have been released to dvd so I haven't seen that one yet. Can't wait to! What a great show it is!
