Teach someone how to FAIL? Uh-uh, that is not a good story line.
4 July 2021
Lt. Keller says that someone should have the right to fail? Uh-uh, that is not a good story line.

College student "Paul Kincaid" (actor Kristoffer Tabori) is pushed by his father to succeed at all costs. But he isn't going to make the grade; his chances of getting into Harvard are not good. It seems that chemistry teacher "Tom Hanna", played by actor Tom Troupe, is going to give Kincaid an "F" for chemistry.

That fear of failure pushes Paul Kincaid to murder the chemistry teacher (not a spoiler; that is in the description). And someone else is going to get in the way; he may have to be taken out as well.

Lots of suspense, and good settings (the college and the upper middle class family home) are sufficient. But too many remarks about "Women's Liberation" are not necessary.

And the moral that "It's okay to fail" falls short. The ending could have been better.

Six stars for "Most Likely to Succeed".
