"The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" Crimson Witness (1965)

It was William Friedkin who directed Pinter's The Birthday Party, here David Friedkin has something related to The Tea Party. An executive at Baldwin Mills, Inc. finds his secretary and mistress suddenly disenchanted, his wife leaves him for his brother, and Mr. Baldwin explains a "great leap forward" by the company needs this same brother as plant manager replacing the executive demoted to the pool of cost estimators, who share a secretary.It will be noted that Mr. Baldwin's secretary is Chinese. The subsequent murder of the usurper is solved by the police when a petal from the former executive's boutonniere, a rose, is found at the scene of the crime.The extent of the analysis reveals a superficial fascination exerted by the brother over women and Mr. Baldwin, which vanishes upon his death. The executive, in a performance beyond masterly by Peter Lawford (amid a cast of great actors sharply directed) is by contrast merely "nice".
