For my money "Strange Witness" was better than "Scarlet Hour."
Herschel Daugherty directed a number of episodes of "Thriller" too. The assistant director, Dolph Zimmer, crossed the lot and worked as an AD on "Leave It To Beaver" for most of the series run.
This episode is another prime example of how television ended the classic film noir cycle. So many scripts that would have been suitable for feature films or "B" pictures were readily adapted for the box.
