synopsis
Judith Evelyn, who played the pathetic Miss Lonelyhearts in Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 theatrical feature Rear Window, offers a radically different characterization in this episode. Grocery store owners Stanley and Dorothy Crane (Joe Mantell, Kathleen Maguire) are fed up by the loud and ceaseless squabbling of their next-door neighbors, Dan and Amelia Verber (Ed Kemmer, Judith Evelyn). Then one night, the arguments immediately cease -- whereupon Dorothy Crane becomes convinced that Amelia has murdered Dan. As things turn out, it seems that at least one of the four principals has what could be termed a special interest in the outcome of the case.
