Guilty Witness
starring Judith Evelyn, Kathleen Maguire, Joe Mantell
directed by Robert Stevens
Stanley (Joe Mantell) and Dorothy Crane (Kathleen Maguire) wonder about their upstairs neighbors, Ben and Amelia Verber (Judith Evelyn), who always seem to be fighting. The Cranes start to wonder even more after the Verbers stop fighting and Ben is nowhere to be found. Sgt. Halloran, a homicide detective, comes around asking questions but in the end it is Stanley who solves the mystery and finds Ben Verber, by accident.
The twist at the end of this story failed to excite me. I wasn't sure how it would end but one of my guesses was correct about the ending.
Notes
This is the first of two episodes of this show in which Judith Evelyn appeared. She was also in Rear Window (1954).
This is the first of three episodes of this show in which Kathleen Maguire appeared.
This is the first of two episodes of this show in which Joe Mantell appeared. He was also in three episodes of The Twilight Zone (1959). He was in two movies I have seen, The Two Jakes (1990) and Chinatown (1974).
This is the third of 44 episodes of this show that Robert Stevens directed. The previous one was 1.08 Our Cook's a Treasure.
