Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Breakdown (1955) (TV)

Synopsis: A man suffers a car crash and survives but gets completely paralyzed except for one finger. Everyone thinks he is dead, and he is scared that he will be buried alive.

Appraisal: This is a very good story, possibly the best so far among the ones I have watched in this series. Strictly from a cinematic angle, though, it's arguably not the best episode; it is very static and depends heavily on the voice-over which expresses the protagonist's thoughts.
