This episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour is so funny! It's the only one I've ever seen, but I have heard that the tone of these mysteries is a little tongue-in-cheek. So if you think Dan Duryea is overacting or the music is a little comical, realize that you're supposed to chuckle at the master of suspense's sense of humor.
Teresa Wright puts on an adorable Southern accent and dolls up in a very attractive hair and makeup style. She knocks on the door of another pretty, but far younger woman, and introduces herself as vaguely but definitely related. They have a chat, and Teresa reveals that they're both married to the same man! Teresa suggests they buck themselves up with a nice stiff drink, and when the young lady's back is turned, she poisons her glass. . .
As the title suggests, the story revolves around a bigamist. Dan Duryea is a traveling salesman, and while he sweettalks Teresa into thinking he has business out of town, he's really spending time with his other wives. Until they start dropping dead, that is. This television movie is pretty cute, adding in droll humor to a morbid subject. If you're in the mood for something light, clever, and short, pop it in.
