Mildly amusing at the time, but the more I think about it, the funnier it is. He's going to spend life in prison for killing an old man, who has no case, because his wife had expensive taste. Blame it on the broad. Phillip Reed's performance is weak and his character's actions as well. When blackmailed you have to take a stand at some point, he didn't have to let them move in and he could have told the detective the things pawned were stolen, which they were. Plus if you killed an old kind man who helped you get where you are, why would you hesitate in killing the blackmailer.
