GUEST FOR BREAKFAST is a film that sure reminds me of a much later film, THE REF. This movie is about a wanted man taking a refuge from the police in a home and holding a bickering couple captive...with humorous results. Well, GUEST is not nearly as overtly funny...but it is very darkly funny and well worth seeing.
When the story begins, you see a married couple at breakfast. The pair obviously hate each other and the husband uses his acid wit to torment his wife....though she's not exactly a prize herself. Out of the blue, a wanted killer bursts into their house and takes them prisoner and threatens to kill one or both of them. And here is where it gets dark...both the husband and wife try to convince the killer to kill their spouse and spare them!! It's pretty sad....but also funny. What's to become of these god-awful folks? See the show.
I loved this show and the ending. It really made me laugh and was fun....and is one of the best episodes of the series I've ever seen. Clever, well written and unique...at least until they made THE REF!
