Balsam Lives Up To His Big-Screen Rep In This Small-Screen 'Noir'
15 February 2012
Martin Balsam, a top big-screen actor, is very good in a guest-starring role here as a sharp-thinking photographer/ex-cop with a devious mind. His character name is "Ray Kauffman." Kauffman, the good cop-gone-bad, has an even worse wife who dabbles in astrology and is as mean and cold-blooded as anyone you'll see. Dimitra Arliss, who plays, "Sherry Kauffman," would have been good in the late '40s film noirs. She's hard-looking, to boot.

What makes this film-noir-type story so interesting is that all the characters are good and the story has a bunch of twists and turns that make it fun to watch. One prime example: Nedra Deen as "Elaine Miller." She's a doozy.
