Say, this Thomas Edward Griffith (Murray Matheson) was a stone cold evil dude, wasn't he? And a confident one too. Who else would presume to proclaim his innocence in the face of three deaths in his own home under suspicious circumstances? But the topper was when he came up the stairs and back handed the cat right off the banister - did you see that? I had to rewind that one a couple of times to see how they pulled it off, but it looked to me like he really gave the cat a swat. PETA would have nailed this guy to the cross.
The one thing I couldn't figure was why old Griffith went to the trouble of transferring his poison powder from it's original container into the ring with the secret compartment. His first victim, Mrs. Abercrombie (Brenda Forbes) was still asleep when Griffith fixed her the mickey; the same with Uncle George (Maurice Dallimore). By the time it came to perfect bride Frances (Sarah Marshall), his intentions were right out in the open. Well I guess it looked cool and made things seem more mysterious.
I have to say though, Griffith stayed true to his principles. None of that breaking rocks in Australia for presenting a forged instrument, or facing an angry mob getting ready to stone him. For a guy who idolized perfection, he did himself in with the utmost precision.
