This is the second production of the Clock Dailey story, adapted by Antony Ellis, about a newspaper reporter who is fascinated by the psychology of crime. His articles about a murderer who is still at large seem to make him the next logical candidate for the killer. It’s not the best Suspense script, for sure, and it’s not better the second time around. Van Heflin could not save it the first time. The Suspense ensemble cast of Vic Perrin, Virginia Gregg, and others do their best, but it is what it is. But there is one highlight… Larry Thor gets to play a police lieutenant on Suspense yet again…
The first production starred series favorite Van Heflin. Details about the story, Dailey, and the script’s original title are at
