Useless to say that you can easily live without watching this fortunately short story, speaking of a topic which you can wonder where it actually drives at...I expected something different in this episode, but after all, why not? This TV show is certainly not to be put on the same scale as AH PRESENTS one, for instance or so many more anthologies series. This very story looks like some Chuck Dickens tale, but it seems O'Henry initially wrote it. You can see it as a kind of critism of the British bourgeois way of life, and put besides the poor people. Eli Wallach shines here and brings the only good point. At least, that's my opinion. Ending very poor, as the lead character.
