ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Originally Aired: April 7, 1952
Suspense #468, "Remember Me," stars Dan Duryea as Harry Norris, a desperate young man who attempts to rob a small neighborhood shop. When the elderly shopkeeper, Mr. Lebowitz, resists, the situation turns violent and Harry panics, shooting him dead. As Harry frantically searches for his dropped hat, Ruth Shaw walks into the store, a customer who needs a few items before closing. Harry pretends to be minding the shop for the absent owner, but Ruth immediately recognizes him from their high school days, cheerfully reminiscing about how all the girls had crushes on the football star. She never forgets a face, especially his.
Harry realizes Ruth can identify him once Lebowitz's body is discovered, so he volunteers to walk her home, carrying her groceries to her apartment. As Ruth chatters innocently about old times and shows him her modest place, Harry knows what he has to do. He's already killed once tonight, and Ruth's remarkable memory for faces has sealed her fate. The question becomes whether Harry can go through with a second murder, and whether Ruth will realize the danger she's in before it's too late.
