An episode like this runs on impatience. The whole plot, life after all events play out, could have been put off for a more opportune moment. The old guy is suspicious from the outset. He knows that the young actress must be up to something or else why does she prefer to be with him. But money is what sets the tone. Cassavetes is a highly unpleasant character, smug and manipulative. He always acts on impulse and that's what proves to be his undoing. Throwing the old guy out a porthole is almost laughable. This is another one of those episodes about rich people never having enough. Quite ordinary.
