I love to watch old crime shows from the 60s and 70s. But one thing I noticed after a while is that so often the crimes were extraordinary...and no detective or lawyer gets nothing but high profile and once-in-a-lifetime cases all the time! So, "A Life for a Life" was a nice relief....a rather ordinary crime in most ways.
When the show starts, a guy is trying to get a room at a hotel but the clerk lies and tells him none are available. Why? The clerk doesn't like the guy's looks. After the guy sees another person come in and get a room, he storms back and confronts the clerk...and tells him something along the lines of 'I can't wait until this place burns down'...and soon it does!! Not surprisingly, because there were witnesses to the threat, the man is soon arrested for arson and murder, as one person's body was found in the fire. Can Petrocelli figure out exactly what really happened?
As I mentioned above, this one is rather ordinary in most ways. And, as such, it was very well done and worth seeing.
