Fred Gwynn is slowly becoming my favorite actor from Mystery Theater. He always sounds so genuine. This is not your typical Mystery Theater at all. You have to listen to act 3 and then E.G. Marshall's take at the very end to really get it. Is it possible for some benevolent force to bring two people together for one to serve (lovingly) the other? Who knows; but I liked the way Mystery Theater poses the question. 4 stars. By the way--Sam Dann wrote this rather intreaguing love story. In this episode, he seems to have captured what Elspeth Eric tries to, but falls short of--a great script with a believable story that is romantic in nature which is enjoyable to listen to.
