Alfred Hitchcock directed the first (and only the first) episode of the 1950s TV series "Suspicion"; it is certainly a much better showcase of his talents than "Incident At A Corner", the one TV episode he directed for a different TV series, "Startime", three years later. Hitch puts his stamp all over this one, having his customary fun with little details that first give false hope to E. G. Marshall's character that there may be a way out of his predicament, only to dash those hopes time and time again by unforeseen developments. Cornell Woolrich's story is filled with ironic twists and reversals. *** out of 4.
