Excellent but not Sleuth either.

I could not prevent myself to think about Jo Mankiewicz's SLEUTH whilst watching this episode. I liked the short sequence of EXECUTION OF PRIVATE SLOVIK which Martin Sheen played in, in the lead role. And I also enjoyed the wipingthe body out, with the chainsaw, on the Walkyrie Riding music; another tribute to APOCALYPSE NOW chopper attack scene, another feature where Martin Sheen played. To summarize, that episode is by itself a tribute to Martin Sheen.

Warning: Spoilers

The ending is rather flat, the last scene, I mean. Such a shame, because the previous elements were awesome, the suspense terrific. I think the discovery of the head in the icebox could have been avoided. The twist moment just before was far enough for the story. I don't remember how the genuine episode, in the black and white season, ended...
