Terribly dated but if you can put up with that - a good story

Not a bad story. The main thing is that it was the last one in the box set! Started off thinking thinking these stories will be great, but soon found most of them weren't. I now realise 25 minutes can be an excruciatingly long time.

When Chaim Topol's archeology professor first arrives at the hotel on the Virgin Islands, he comes across as a complete misogynist with patter that makes the assistant manager of his posh hotel almost burst with righteous indignation. When he chats up his wife, it's more a matter of rightful indignation.

This isn't a morality tale, rather, it's a jaunty pastiche, without giving away the unexpected aspect of the tale, after he's bedded the maid and broadly hinted at digging for more than archeology with the assistant manager's wife, a 21st century interpretation may well be of assertive women able to make their own decisions - as these women clearly did.

A light, witty end to a great series.

Yes, this is rather interesting this surprising plot taking place in a hotel. Agreeable little drama which saves us some good things. However, I could never be really excited, just amused, entertained. But never bored, that's the most important. Good characters study and symphony, and also a cosy tribute to the forties movies. I would have imagined George Sanders playing in such a story, and Gene Tierney or Joan Fontaine co starring him. It is a delicate, exquisite, refined plot. Not what I expected, but we are in the unexpected world of TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED aren't we? Try it, I am sure you won't regret it.
