This one makes me think of the opening of The Alfred Hitchcock Show.  My favorite episode 
was the one where Elsa Lanchester beat her husband to death with a frozen lamb chop 
and then served the murder weapon to the investigating police officers.

  1. It does. My favourite is An Unlocked Window. Dana Wynter and T.C. Jones are nurses trapped in a home with a killer on the loose. Brilliant twist ending for the time!

  2. The AHP episode "Lamb to the Slaughter" featured actress Barbara Bel Geddes, not Laughton's beard

  3. Correction: It was not Elsa Lanchester who played Mary Maloney in "Lamb to the Slaughter," it was Barbara Bel Geddes, in one of her four Alfred Hitchcock episodes between 1958 and 1960. The murder weapon was a huge leg of lamb, not a chop. And her husband was the local police chief!

  4. Oops! Wrong actress. See comments above.

  5. Also, one of the police officers Bel Geddes interacts with is played by hairy hunk Ken Clark.

    1. Mr. Clark has appeared on this blog before, gloriously shirtless.

    2. I’m most familiar with Mr Clark as Stewpot in the film version of South Pacific (1958) and as an FBI agent in Walt Disney’s The Shaggy Dog (1959).
