Arthur Sinclair is a famous mind reader and personality, life is seemingly good, unfortunately he had a heart problem, and an adulterous wife named Allison.
I'm a big fan of mysteries, and a big fan of seventies shows in particular, so on paper it ticks the boxes, and happily in reality it does as well.
It impresses on so many levels, the plot is excellent, it's got so much going on, you truly must expect the unexpected. It even goes so far as to satisfy my rather niche adoration for those sixties thrillers, where the twists and turns come thick and fast.
So it does have a made for television feel about it, so don't expect it to look sharp or dazzling, I'd love to see this get a commercial release, and be sharpened up a little.
I'd argue that this story was the inspiration for episode of Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense, Last Testament and Videotape, a similar plot, albeit one with a rather zany ending.
Hal Holbrook, Richard Anderson and Katharine Ross are all excellent in their respective roles.
9/10.
