The IMDB summary is wrong. There is no taunting by the wife at all...this just didn't happen. Instead, Paul (Barry Sullivan) is talking to his wife on the deck of a ship...and she tells him she wants a divorce. He becomes angry and pushes her overboard to her death. He tells his friends who are down below in the ship that she fell...so they contact the police. Soon her body is found and that's when Paul begins acting VERY guilty. But the inquest finds that she died from the fall and the case is closed. But now, oddly, he angry that he wasn't blamed! What's next?
This is an okay episode...but it was made worse by Hitchcock's epilogue...that undid pretty much all of the episode. Odd...but he did that periodically...perhaps to make the network or sponsors happy. I know I'm sounding vague about the show....but it just left me feeling not much of anything.
