I don't believe a person can slip into murder that easily. There were some sound effects (the footsteps out the back stair after the first shooting) which recalled the crime shows of OTR. Howard Dasilva brings a gravity to this type of role. I gave this show a 4 based on the acting and the dialogue, which were solid. My Mom and Dad used to have that album (I still remember Morse singing the title song).BOY how I'd love to find that thing but I think we sold it. One of the stars of 'The moonlighter' was RMT regular Bob Kaliban (who apparently was quite the singer) who starred with Morse in 'How to succeed in business without really trying'. I found out Larry Morse acted in the RMT's 'The trouble with murder'. He had the way of saying lines like 'Thou shalt not kill.thou shalt not kill' that gave one pause.

The woman who daSilva's character was assigned to kill really haunted me for some reason (because it haunted him, and that's all from the execution (no pun intended) by the actors and scriptwriter.)ĭa Silva rocked. Still, there's a sense of empathy one feels for the characters when you hear their voices as they immediately confront certain death. Ostensibly, we were to believe that those targeted for murder weren't innocent. This one worked, IMO, in a way for radio that maybe it couldn't have for TV. Morrison is talking to his best friend who informs him that he has found a way to make some extra money, and if interested, it is an opportunity that might appeal to him also. Morrison, who works in the research department of a company, is having trouble making ends meet and the couple finds that they must drop their membership in the local country club and they also start refusing invitations from their friends to attend social functions because they cannot afford to reciprocate. The money crunch of the 1970's is taking it's toll on the couple though.

Morrison grew up in an affluent family and likes the finer things in life. Stanley Morrison and his wife are accustomed to comfortable living. I always enjoy when people post to the website about an episode that they vividly remember after many years and this one would be one that could fall into that category. That's when writing and acting combine for their maximum effect, and what made many of us fans of this great program. This is one that you could have heard when it debuted in 1975 and recalled the details today.
