A couple of things:

1. BOY, was there a lot of Biblical scripture in this story - which I don't have a problem with whatsoever.

A. E. G. quotes from (I believe) Paul's letter to Timothy about love of money being the root of all evil.

B. He also quotes at one of the breaks (saying it's from scripture) that: "Riches will not profit in the day of revenge."

C. Marian Seldes, at show's end, quotes from Jesus' words to Peter in Matthew "Those who live by the sword will die by the sword".

D. There's another Bible quote in this show somewhere.

2. The music during the flashbacks was great - the rolling piano backed by muted trumpets always suggested "trouble on the water" and was used extensively in the fine RMT "The captain of the Polestar" and "The great white shark".

3. Mandel Kramer so often played a detective: in fact, I think he was a detective on the TV show "The edge of night" which produced so many RMT alumni. It's great to hear him say: "Open up - it's the police!"
