- Quotes
[introduction]
Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is standing locked in a stockade] Good evening. Methinks I should never have come to the colonies.
[opens hands briefly]
Alfred Hitchcock: Here I am, the producer's dream, a captive audience.
[camera moves in to a tighter shot of Hitchcock]
Alfred Hitchcock: Unfortunately, knowing the producer, I have already seen tonight's story several times. It is called, "One for the Road." They say there are two sides to every question, but tonight's little problem has three sides. For it is that age old bit of marital geometry, the eternal triangle.

Written by Charles Gounod
I was all prepared to give this one a 7 or 8. But one thing that annoys me is that in several episodes where the perfect crime seems to have occurred, Hitchcock in the epilogue announces that the perpetrator was caught and justice was served! This is bad because there really is no reason to believe she would ever be caught and also because it makes the series moralistic and dopey.
