Two Worthless People
5 July 2013
This is a clash between two people of the most questionable character. They come together when a bookmaker sends Robert Horton to find what happened to one of his customers. It turns out the man has drowned in a boating accident. Now it's the sly byplay between the widow and Horton. There are secrets in play here and that's what they do, "play" each other. While there is a good deal of sexual tension and the acting is good, I need to have some investment in the people involved. We can see the twist a mile away. When the show concluded, I was left with a big "Is that all there is?" I can't imagine any insurance company being so incompetent as to allow this sort of thing to play out.
