List of episodes

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]
