The Trap (1965)

Alfred Hitchcock: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Self - Host : We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like. I have prepared one of my own. In it, I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gun powder, and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like. This evening's drama is about a different type of time capsule. It is called 'The Trap' and it's set to go off in just 60 seconds.

• Self - Host : One item which might well go into a time capsule is the station break. In fact, I would love to enclose this next one, but they won't allow me to get my hands on it. However, you may examine it, after which our story will continue.
