Their faces and voices all seemed just right for the characters they were portraying. Also, there was an elegance in the presentation of the story, as something distinct from the story itself, that drew me in. Not emotionally maybe, nor intellectually, as I guessed it would be such an easy puzzle to figure that I didn't even put much effort into solving it. <br /><br />As this is one John Collier tale I'm unfamiliar with I found the Big Reveal (the birthmark) satisfying, even ingenious, as after the fact this was one possibility (of catching Hatfield) that ought to have occurred to me, and it didn't. Yet it's so simple. Also, given the character's vanity over his looks, his "exquisite" tastes and all, as an echo of Dorian Gray, while this much I understood, as there was no central object, no painting, in other words, I was at a loss as to how to go about guessing how the perp would get caught. Yet the obviousness of it came as a near shock, and I was (and am still) grateful for that.john kenrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710666533854296630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-79406799621678954532014-06-01T06:49:05.669-07:002014-06-01T06:49:05.669-07:00I'm happy that you enjoy them.
