A couple of coincidences too many., 7 September 1998
Author: Ron Kerrigan (mvg@whidbey.com) from Whidbey Island, Washington

Just about everyone stopping at this roadside inn is connected with everyone else, which makes it highly improbable.

But it's not that bad a time watching it. The cast is pleasant enough (except for the excruciating performance of J.M. Kerrigan as "Doc" Joseph. Why the director egged him on so much is hard to understand.) Most of the other actors do a good job, and it's a shame some of them didn't go on to better projects.

A curio for "My Little Margie" fans.
