This installment of "Kraft Suspense Theatre" plays more like a pilot episode than usual. I am glad it wasn't the beginning of some series, as the writing just wasn't very good--as it was too talky and full of sneers.
Leslie Nielsen plays a former DA, Paul Maytric. A year ago, his wife was killed by mobsters and he's made it his life's goal to destroy organized crime in the gambling industry. Much of the time, however, his work takes him to showdowns with hoods and there is a LOT of sneering and word-play---way too much. In fact, the entire show just seems pretty phony and never convinces. A waste of some decent talent and a misfire.
