I Killed the Count is a 1957 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It was adapted from the play of the same name by Alec Coppel.[1]
Alec Coppel had worked on the scripts for a number of Hitchcock films including To Catch a Thief and Vertigo. The adaptation was told over three episodes, the only serialised story in the history of the show.[2] This made it effectively a feature-length movie for television.[3]
The Baltimore Sun felt "it fits perfectly into the suspenseful pattern" of the series and that Williams was "excellent".[4]
The Plain Dealer called it "an amusing mystery" with a "very good" cast.[5]
The Des Moines Register felt the last episode was "an amusing, leisurely chapter with top performances and production."[6]
