A very strong episode.

Poccari was a former member of The Rietti group, a set of fighters that fought for The Allies against The Nazis. Years after a traitor caused a slaughter, two of its members track Poccari down, their aim to learn who betrayed them.

This is quite a powerful story I thought, I've been looking into the Italian situation during The Second world war quite a lot, there are a lot of misconceptions, many brave men fought against The Nazis.

Worth considering that The Second World War was just fifteen years old in 1960, very much still in the minds of many people, the feeling of anger towards any traitor would have been high.

Poccari has such an interesting and novel way of issuing justice.

It's a wonderfully stylish episode, everyone looks so elegant and smart, it has a touch of Italian chic.

Geoffrey Keen and Ryan O'Casey are both particularly good, I've been working my way through The Larkins, on which O'Casey starred, a good comedy and straight actor.

Very interesting, 8/10.
