Peter Enfantino is an obsessive collector of Mystery, Crime and Horror digests including Alfred Hitchcock, Manhunt, Mike Shayne, as well as the entire stable of Warren Magazines. Her often humorous touch and her work with female leads were important factors in setting the tone for many episodes of the series, episodes that were quite different than those written by her husband.Ä«etween them, the Cockrells had a major influence on determining what kind of show Alfred Hitchcock Presents would be, and they wrote many episodes that are recalled as among the show's best. She wrote the first episode to be filmed ("Into Thin Air") and one of her episodes was directed by Hitchcock ("Wet Saturday"). Her scripts were often lighter in tone than those of her husband, and many of her shows featured female protagonists, often seeming mentally unstable but just as often cleverer than they were thought to be. Marian Cockrell wrote or co-wrote eleven episodes: four in season one, four in season two, two in season three, and one in season five. ![]() Francis Cockrell's nine scripts for the first season helped set the tone for the series. His scripts tend to feature male protagonists and to be more serious and dark in theme than the shows written by his wife, with whom he co-wrote "Whodunit." Cockrell wrote the only multi-part episode in the ten years of the series (the three-part "I Killed the Count") and directed two episodes: "Whodunit" and "The Rose Garden," which featured a script by his wife. Five of his scripts were directed by Hitchcock, including "Revenge," the series' premiere. Francis Cockrell wrote or co-wrote 18 episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents: nine in season one, six in season two, one in season three, and two in season four.
