Fascinating four character drama about a husband and wife and his temptation by an exotic creature who drifts into their tiny social circle. Katy (Bethel Leslie) is dependent upon Jim (Richard Boone) for her daily care and companionship and it's clear she is not a burden to her loving husband.
Jim and Katy Hensel live in the California desert for her health, so far off the grid they have no electricity. This radical lifestyle change was made for Katy's health. Specific reasons for Katy's illness aren't given. Were we to speculate at this point from her symptoms and the move they made to the dry desert and her mobility problems, she would seem to suffer from a combination of asthma and some form of Multiple Sclerosis.
Conversations make it clear that both Katy and Jim miss aspects of their lives left behind them, but only Jim has the ability to pursue his longing for what's been lost by their move to the desert. The object of Jim's desire, Florinda Kirty (Laura Devon), perfectly portrays a flighty young woman who may or may not be of light moral character.
Jim's life is further burdened by the presence of an old war buddy, Sailor (Henry Morgan), his driver from the Pacific theater. Sailor is a great admirer of Katy and Jim's relationship and feels greatly betrayed by Jim's attraction to Florinda.
Boone rates an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10 for this one. He's magnificent in the reading of the letter at the end.
