Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDon Taylor met his wife-to-be, Hazel Court, while directing her in this episode. They married in 1963.
- GoofsDuring Alfred Hitchcock's closing remarks, the name of the killer is clearly dubbed as "Jack". By lipreading it is clear that Hitch was saying "Arthur". Arthur was the victim, not the killer.
- Quotes
[afterword - Hitchcock is still near the motion picture screen]
Alfred Hitchcock: And now, for the information of you youngsters who were slashing the upholstery and tearing out the seats during the denouement, I would like to tidy up one of the story's loose ends - Phyllis Chaundry. She was arrested as an accessory and she and her husband Jack both went to prison. An inspiring example of togetherness. And now, as a means of clearing the theater without calling the police, here is another commercial from the land of television, after which I shall roll back.
[commercial break]
Alfred Hitchcock: I'm sure you will be interested in knowing that the soundtracks of the three commercials seen tonight are available in the album "Music to Cook Three-Minute Eggs By". The album is available in all speeds, including reverse as well as in fi, both high and low. Next week, we shall have a completely new attraction as well as new seats and fresh popcorn. Good night.

Written by Charles Gounod
THE CROCODILE CASE is especially enjoyable because of the teaming of a very young Denholm Elliot and the charming Hazel Court. In several deftly-written scenes, we watch their relationship disintegrate from illicit passion to boredom and disgust.
And Pat Hitchcock makes one of her many AHP appearances, as usual playing the dumpy sister/cousin/friend of the main female character.
Hazel Court and Don Taylor (who directed this episode) were married a few years after this was filmed. Perhaps someone can tell us whether this episode was the occasion of their first meeting.
