Maybe a TV Dinner Would Be Safer

Fairly suspenseful half-hour. Newspapers indicate a poisoner is on the loose in the city with a graveyard of victims. Good thing Truex and Field are a prosperous married couple with a live-in cook, but then Field, a frustrated amateur actress, starts feeling nauseous. Good thing hubby's there to look after her, while Roache, the cook, towers over them, but is it protectively. Soon Field recovers, oddly though, Truex starts getting sick. Roache acts harmless enough, still Truex finds a can of arsenic in the back of the cupboard. Meanwhile the cops still haven't caught the poisoner. So what's going on.

Note the married couple's twin beds, nonetheless it's Hollywood 1949 and the Code does prevail. Also, catch the period hats of the ladies in the railway car. Looks like French surrealist Dali might have designed them. Anyway, it's a good guessing-game entry whose title 'Suspicion' carries some irony as the climax shows.
