For some people, office work doesn't mean ALLY McBEAL.
A BULLET FOR BALDWIN touches the question of the alienation and of the alienating work relations, for instance a small clerk is manipulated, exploited and smashed by the incredible whims of his employers; he finds no understanding with them, no, not a bit. This oppressed man is cornered by his exploiters. Hitchcock had a bourgeois retrograde thought, but here the work relations are well depicted. Unhesitatingly, this clerk murders his boss.
Those too much humiliated are alienated and therefore always resort to the extreme measures.
Daddy Qualen gave his characters a touching humanity. He also added a bit of humor to the otherwise direst scripts. Directed by Justus Addiss, a Teleplay by Eustace and Francis Cockrell, based on a story by Joseph Ruscoll, played by John Qualen, Sebastian Cabot, Philip Reed, Ruth Lee, Cheryll Clarke, James Adamson and Don McArt, A BULLET is a retro story, set in 1909 (--to downplay the dramatic significance of these raw work relations, Hitchcock sets his story in the distant past--); an old clerk is humiliated by his boss Baldwin. He murders his boss, goes home and falls into a 1 ½ days sleep.
