- TriviaIn a strange case of life imitating art (a little) the actress who plays Bernice Brown (Jean Hale) was impersonated by a woman who went on to marry 10 men. "In 1965 a woman impersonating her stole $10,000 worth of merchandise from various boutiques in Los Angeles. She was caught and imprisoned, but several years after her release she again began impersonating Hale and married a total of ten men across Texas and Oklahoma."
- GoofsWhen Raymond calls Marion from the pay phone, he tells the operator to place a collect call. When Marion answers the phone she immediately starts talking to him. The operator never told her it was a collect call and asked if she would accept it before connecting them.
- Quotes
Alfred Hitchcock - Host: Richard was not only guilty of simple bigamy. In his case, it was more like trigonometry. He is now in a well-known federal prison. You see, the law took the position that he must be punished... as though having four wives were not punishment enough.
- Crazy creditsIn the closing credits, David Fresco is listed as playing "The Bother in Law"
Featured review
Murder with a Light Touch
Primo Hitchcock. The ending is somewhat overdone, but that can easily be forgiven. Seems Ray Brown (Duryea) is having trouble counting. He keeps confusing one with four. After all, the law allows one wife per husband, but Ray insists on four! Plus, he uses their money to gamble with. Still I can see why he keeps confusing the count since all four are real lookers. Now, if only he can keep them apart. Trouble is one of the harem (Wright) finds out about the others and is none too happy. Worse, her solution is pretty drastic, proving that she has no trouble counting even if hubby does.
Good to see two stellar performers from the 1940's together on TV. Wright is her usual sparkling persona, even if her southern drawl sort of comes and goes. Then too, her charm makes much of the planned mayhem ironical as heck. It's almost like watching Nancy Drew get sent to the Big House. Duryea, on the other hand, is cast against type, wandering around mostly in confusion as he treks from one lost wife to the next. He may be slippery toward women, but his character is none too masterful, (Check out his fearsome pimp in the unforgettable Scarlet Street {1945}). Still, watching Wright and Duryea in the same show proves a real treat. And that's along with a tight script and Hitch's trademark light touch. So don't miss it.
