Featured review
A Smooth Tale
This is one of the better episodes despite the distraction provided by Inspector Brackenreid and his gang of football fans. Apart from a tightly scripted episode it also features a commendable homage to one of the greatest action scenes every filmed on celluloid, the staircase scene. This scene has been replicated in various guises by some great and not so great directors in the past (one example which comes to mind is from "The Untouchables", by Brain DePalma). In this episode Eleanore Lindo achieves a near perfect copy but it less dramatic in its approach than the original. The scene in question is from the 1952 Russian classic film Battleship Potemkin directed by Sergei Eisenstein.
