American anthology television series.
Inspired by the unsolved 'Shark Arm case' in Sydney, Australia, in 1935, when a captured tiger shark regurgitated a tottooed human arm that proved to have been severed by a knife.
A contemporary review of this production in the New York Times reads:
'A drama based on an Australian murder trial provided a suspenseful telecast on "Playhouse 90" over Channle 2 last night.
'Sumner Locke Elliott's play, "The Grey Nurse Said Nothing," told by flashback narrative of a grisly murder trial that remained unsolved for thirteen years.
'The eventual solution of the crime of passion involved an unexpected development that gave the drama a diverting climax. A predominantly British cast gave uniformly good performances in this Fred Coe production, directed by Ronald Winston.
'The players included Hugh Griffith as a philosophical parson who told the story, Ann Todd an unhappy wife, Michael David, a murder suspect, Angela Lansbury, a teacher with the key to the crime, and Patricia Cutts, a friendly barmaid.'
