Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Canary Sedan (1958)
Season 3, Episode 37
5/10
Not among the better episodes.
2 April 2021
"The Canary Sedan" is a subpar episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" for two main reasons. First, it is about a woman with psychic powers and I generally dislike this sort of nonsense. Second, the ending is weak and the show could have ended in several other better ways.

The story begins with Laura (Jessica Tandy) traveling to Hong Kong to join her husband. He apparently had been in Hong Kong for work for some time and she is now joining him. However, when she goes to buy a car, she buys a used one and starts getting psychic vibes from the car....as she can hear a woman talking to her lover which, presumably, happened some time ago. But who is this woman with the voice and who is her lover?

The twist in this one didn't impress me and although Tandy was a fine actress, this show, while original, seems a bit silly and awkward.
