Suspicion (suspense anthology, from Alfred Hitchcock)
(NBC Primetime, 1957 - 1959;
Syndicated)
[The series was another production distributed by MCA-Revue
Studios from Alfred Hitchock's Shamley Productions, which
produced "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" which aired on CBS and
"The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" on NBC. Unfortunately, Mr. Hitchcock
didn't get as involved in this series, and it suffered from
his lack of personal touch. It started out as a live series,
but later episodes were made on film (Revue Studios' specialty.)
The first host was Dennis O'Keefe who was replaced in the
final season by Walter Abel]

Theme 2: "Suspicion"
[In the 1978 ASCAP Index of Performed Compositions, the
composition is listed without a writer, just the publisher;
but in the most recent database, Jeff Alexander is listed
without publisher; The piece is listed in copyright records
attributed to Jeff Alexander only. However, the Internet
Movie database does not mention Alexander in conjunction
with the series, so this might be for cues or for another
series' cues.]
