A well-handled love story backed up by the destructive impact of the War on men's souls. Foyle neatly solves the usual mystery but this episode digs far deeper into the hearts of the people involved, including the guilty and not just the innocent. The viewer feels forced to sympathize with both the guilty and innocent, even if the cunning American mastermind deserved the maximum punishment he undoubtedly receives under the full force of British law. To top everything off, this episode portrays a moving portrait of American racial problems at the time of the War, and does it with no false sympathy or exaggeration of the black soldiers' plight. Watching this episode can only remind an American viewer of the tragic and in fact evil discrimination routinely applied to the Black citizens of our country.
