You have probably read the synopsis and other reviews so I won't repeat that. The part about the man that Owney hangs was the only part I thought didn't live up to the otherwise superb screenwriting. Otherwise,this is some of the best screenwriting (by Paul Savage) for a television series I've ever seen,and the acting especially the interaction of Jay Flippen and Andrea Darvi is excellent.
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul? Mark 8:36... By man's law,he did nothing wrong. That's stretching the situation that happened to Owney Tupper,but it made me think of that chapter and verse. It also made me think of people and governments that think they know what's best for others. Would I have done the same if I were in Owney Tupper's situation? Would you?
