Featured review
A bit slow, but easy to watch.
Has Marion Corbit stolen a top secret file and handed it off for cash? A Civil Servant who lives white an extravagant life, on a relatively modest salary.
It's not taxing, nor is there much on offer for a mystery fan, but it's an easy to follow, stylish enough drama.
As with other episodes in the series, it's very slow to open up and get going, but it improves as it progresses. It's a watchable episode, but I don't think it's one that's going to have anyone's pulse racing. Nor for that matter would Marion, incredibly serious and formal, hard to imagine friends handing her over large sums of cash.
Ellen McIntosh plays the part of Miss Corbit quite well, and it's always good to see a young Windsor Davies. Nice also to see Jeffrey Segal prior to the torment he'd suffer in Rentaghost.
It looks great, it's actually nicely filmed, and considering the low budget it looks pretty good, I think that seeing it in black and white helps, it adds to the atmosphere.
There are some wonderfully old fashioned ideas about women at the time, William Abridge implying that Marion had the best quality for marrying, loyalty. It was a very different world back then.
6/10.
