If you sat down to watch "Incident At A Cormer" without knowing that it was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the same year he did "Psycho", no less, you'd never guess it. This teleplay has an interesting beginning (the same event filmed from three differennt perspectives) and a daring theme (involving accusations of child abuse), but it turns out to be a shaggy-dog story, and Hitchcock directs it mostly as a talking-heads affair. There is also some noticeably unconvincing casting, with people looking barely 10 years apart playing father and son. Not much more than a curio, to be honest. ** out of 4.
