Herbert Marshall (from Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent) and Tom Hellmore (who was Gavin Elster in Hitchcock's Vertigo). Give their all to the First Rate Silliphant script (he was one of the greatest of early TV's writers). Perhaps the least violent or macabre of all the half hour shows and yet one of the best. Our expectation of violence works perfectly to distract us from the delightful surprise ending.
Hitchcock had far more input and interest in the creation of these half hour gems than was formerly thought. Especially, choosing the actors, so many from his own films. His good friend Norman Lloyd the producer was in frequent informal contact about the shows, choice of material, etc.
