Introduction

"I Saw the Whole Thing" is the only episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour which Alfred Hitchcock directed. It was originally broadcast on 11/Oct/1962.

Synopsis

Michael Barnes is a mystery writer who is accused of causing a fatal car accident. Each eyewitness, however, proves to be unreliable when their testimony is shredded by Barnes who is acting as his own defense attorney. He is exonerated after he shows that each witness only saw what they wanted to see. Ultimately, however, it is revealed that he was not the driver. The driver was his pregnant wife. Barnes arranged to have himself accused because he knew that his wife would not be able to stand the strains of a trial. (TV.com)

Hitchcock Says...

Introduction

Hitchcock is holding a giant key.

Good evening.  I am organising a "key club" – it seems to be the 
thing to do.  For the uninitiated, a "key club" is one which members
can enter only if they process a key.  These clubs are terribly
exclusive, since membership is limited to men.  My club is
completely different – it is for women.  Inside the club is
everything a woman could want... including me!  You see, I am the
club's only bunny.

This evening's story is not about "key clubs".  It is about a man
who finds himself in a unique predicament and is called "I Saw the
Whole Thing".  If you wish to see the whole thing, I suggest you
watch this spot closely for the next sixty minutes.

Middle

We now take time out to hear from an unscheduled witness – your
local station.  We've asked him to limit himself to the bare facts
of the case, but unfortunately he is a garrulous fellow.   So, I'm
afraid, you're in for some extraneous details.

Ending

There is sad news about my new "key club" – it has become even more
exclusive than we planned.  The sheriff is now our only member...
we've been padlocked.

I shall be back next week with another drama, scenes of which will
appear in just a moment.
