The fault here lies with director Alexander Franklin and Elisabeth Mayer, who seem to lose control of the play's pace. The dialogue moves beyond hectic into overload. The tension and excitement, rather than growing gradually between them, has built too fast and too early. The long-deterred climax is simply anti-climactic.

His next show, On the Air, was a heavy-handed TV satire just slightly to the left of WKRP in Cincinnati. But the old, weird Lynch is back in HOTEL ROOM, an HBO trilogy of stories, two of them directed by Lynch from scripts by Barry Gifford.
