First of all, I would like to point out one thing, this topic where an ordinary man impersonates a sea captain - which he is absolutely not - this scheme reminds me a little Jean Gabin's character in LE DRAPEAU NOIR FLOTTE SUR LA MARMITE. But for the rest,I admit that Richard Boone may not have plenty in common with Jean Gabin...Here Richard Boone is excellent, and I also want emphasize on the fact that, in this show, where all the same actors play in nearly every episode, in all kind of characters, Richard Boone is excellent in every character he plays: good or evil, cold or touching, he is outstanding. This story is not a drama but nor a comedy either. I particularly love the scene when we see Boone driving home, a miserable cabin, where his old man lives with him, and when we realize that he is NOT a captain; and the sequence just after when the audience see that he is only a docker, this moment is so exquisite... In summary, enjoy the Richard Boone performance. That's worth watching. He is so deeply touching. What a great actor he was...I miss him. He is even greater in this show than he was in classic big screen movies.
