- TriviaIn this three-part episode, John Williams portrays an inspector investigating the death of a man portrayed by Anthony Dawson. Three years earlier in the Alfred Hitchcock film Dial M for Murder (1954), John Williams portrays an inspector investigating the death of a man portrayed by Anthony Dawson. They would both appear again in Midnight Lace (1960), directed by David Miller, with John Williams again portraying an inspector, but this time Anthony Dawson portrays a creepy stalker.
- GoofsWhenever the phone rings in this episode and in part 2, the 'ring' is not the sound that a typical British phone would make. It is the sound of an American phone of that era.

Suit of Armor: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Alfred Hitchcock.
[Hitchcock walks on screen right next to the suit of armor]
Suit of Armor: Tonight's play takes place in merry old England, and is called "I Killed the Count."
Alfred Hitchcock: When they asked me to wear this, I demurred. I didn't realize it would be an invitation for automation to take over.
[looks inside the helmet]
Alfred Hitchcock: Empty. Now what does that imply? Oh, well!
