 I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. This Drama-Mystery, written by Sam Dann, was very likable. It’s not the most intense mystery tale, but entertaining that CBSRMT fans can tune in and have sympathy for our main character who only needed 2 things in her life: Excitement & Affection. The title, “The Other Lifeâ€ is suitable, but another way to title this would be “The Urge To Be Freeâ€ because that’s what our main character wanted to do and not be labeled as the “Sensible One.â€ In our Host’s Prologue, E.G. Marshall starts the show off by describing Hell and how people design it in their own way. That kind of intro would be good for a Fantasy-Mystery involving devils, witches, warlocks, or demons. In ACT-1, he mentions the Quiet People and 1 in particular: our main character. In ACT-2, he points out that a neglected wife would eventually see someone else. At the end of the Act, he mentions that a compulsive gambler breaks all 10 commandments. But our main character only broke 3. In ACT-3, he mentions the story of Dante’s Inferno where there are illusions of delirious hopes, which sort of makes sense to connect with this kind of story. After the climax, our Host asks did our leading characters really learn their lessons? It’s a Resolution we will never know. In his Epilogue, E.G. Marshall mentions a cat’s 9 lives, but asks how many lives are we leading? But what was great about this story was the music & sound effects. The sounds of the Airport Cab Stand, traffic noise, soft delicate music playing, doors, footsteps, rotary phone, wine bottle, wine glasses, piano playing at the fancy restaurant, sports car engine running, glassware, and the roulette ball at the casino were very supportive in this. As for the music, a whole lot of dramatic tunes in each Act. Plus, those melancholy tracks you hear every time our main character would narrate her situations. And the greatest part of all in this CBSRMT episode, was the cast: Mercedes McCambridge (as Della McKellar), Ralph Bell (as Bernard Winestein and Mike), Bryna Raeburn (as Edith and the Female Reporter), and Elliott Reid (as Frederick T. McKellar and Carl Leon). Good performances by Ralph Bell, Bryna Raeburn, and Elliott Reid for each playing 2 roles. But the most excellent performance was done by Mercedes McCambridge. One minute she plays the part with a downhearted tone, the next minute she plays the part with ambition. Mercedes McCambridge was destined to be part of CBSRMT! Tune in to this mystery tale if you’re a fan of Mercedes McCambridge’s acting. Plus, it has commercials of Sine Off Sinus Tablets, a music jingle for Shop Right, and Phlogam Tablets. Until next time…pleasant dreams. =0)
