Orson's first attempt at a Alfred Hitchcock style show was not succesful.However, his later attempt in the 70's(Orson Welles Great Mysteries) proved to be a little more succesful,lasting for a few episodes.
Although Orson Welles did not want to copy Alfred Hitchccock Presents, it is very clear that the show was a heavy an inspiration for this short. Probably for this reason and the budget, Orson used stills brilliantly. Also unlike Hitchcock, Orson interjects throughout the story narrating and adding his subtle and very witty commentary.
Production quality wise it isn't quite up to par with Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised and after a couple of minutes I was hooked till the end.
The idea of this translating into a show is certainly enticing. Unfortunately, it did not and we are simply left with our imagination...Orson Welles Presents !
