Elvin Betancourt –
[Traversing back through my favorite JF shows, #2]. This episode has some of the most evocative JF background music I’ve heard anywhere in the series. Wish there was some liner notes to identify the band and the tracks. Story content: the ‘Pilot’ sequence is very fine indeed. Evocative of Eric Ambler, Grahame Greene, and Joseph Conrad.
