    Very close to the audiences reality

    This is not a fantasy nor horror of any kind plot, nothing eerie here, you just deal with a thriller which plot will easily talk to most audiences. It is question of ambition, greed, the inner company promotion for a budding young executive, an ambitious one. Yes, many folks at home will feel concerned - more or less at least - by this ORSON WELLS GREAT MYSTERIES tv show episode. It is very short and even more sharp tale, si delightful. The atmosphere suits very well to Joan Collins before her DYNASTY years. Just enjoy the atmosphere and dialogues. Exquisite. You won't regret it, except if you absolutely search for fantasy and horror stuff.
