[introduction - Hitchcock is standing by a record player which he activates]
Alfred Hitchcock: [on the record player] Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you will excuse the use of this mechanical device, but I have a mild case of laryngitis and I don't wish to strain my voice. Tonight's story is en...
[the record keeps repeating "Tonight's story is en..." until Hitchcock moves the needle]
Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you will excuse this broken record, but it was improperly handled. Tonight's play is called "Listen, Listen".
[the record keeps repeating "Listen, Listen" until Hitchcock moves the needle again]
Alfred Hitchcock: But "Listen, Listen" really is the name of the story.
[the record keeps repeating "Listen, Listen" again until Hitchcock stops it and speaks with a whisper]
Alfred Hitchcock: I think we have made that point quite clear. Now, to save my voice, I think we shall indulge in some mental telepathy. Look at the expression on my face and see if you can tell what is coming next.

Written by Charles Gounod
Some good character sketches. Stehli's excellent at winning our wary sympathy. Lummis is especially good as the harried police sergeant—just the right amount of impatient indulgence. Note too how his scene ends with his taking a pill, done casually, but a nice character touch. In fact, each encounter is well handled, a credit to actor-director Don Taylor. However, what I most want to know is the location of the bar. The barfly blonde, Jackie Loughery, is an absolute knock-out. No wonder she was the first Miss USA, and even Dragnet's tough-guy Jack Webb came under her wifely spell.
