...named John Morgan (Tim McInnerny) is a surprise guest at a dinner party whose host is Wetherby's favorite schoolteacher, Jean Travers (Vanessa Redgrave). He strikes a spark somewhere inside Jean's loneliness. The next day he stops by, chats a bit, then puts a gun in his mouth and splatters his brains across her kitchen wall.

In possibly his most solemn passage, Sheed writes, "Religion as such strikes me as a desperate attempt on the part of mankind to bore itself to death in expiation of some forgotten excitement." Pilgrims wandering to the rhythm of the old soft-shoe, Frank and Maisie dedicated themselves to fighting original boredom as passionately as original sin. Their son, in his own terms, is happily carrying on the family business. --By Melvin Maddocks
