One of the final Sylvester and Tweety shorts of the classic era for Looney Tunes. This one parodies Alfred Hitchcock Presents, with a Hitchcock-inspired bear narrating a story where Sylvester believes he has killed Tweety and feels guilty over it. A clever and funny short that ranks pretty high on my list of favorite Looney Tunes from the '60s, which was not their best decade as quality was deteriorating across the board.

The animation is excellent with a lovely noirish style to it. I didn't even mind the sketchy backgrounds this time as it fit well here. Love the colors, particularly the purples and blues. The music is great and used fittingly throughout the story. The incomparable Mel Blanc does great work, as usual. Ben Frommer did the voice for the Hitchcock bear and I thought it was a poor job. I'm not sure why Blanc didn't do it as he did quite a few impressions and I doubt he could have done worse than Frommer, who sounds less like Hitch and more like a guy with a stuffy nose. The gags and dialogue are very funny, especially in the back and forth between Sylvester and the narrator. This is a different type of short than you likely expect from Sylvester and Tweety (who's barely in it), but it works well.
