Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Back for Christmas (1956) (TV)

Based on a short story by John Collier, first published in 1939.

A man kills his wife and buries her in the basement, on the same day when they were leaving for the U.S..

Nice episode, and, among its niceties, an interesting idea (women seem to value tidiness regardless of its function, as opposed to men), a variation of which is present in Crumb (1994).
