Harlan Hawkes (the always recognizable, always enjoyable late great William Hickey) is an obscenely old man who's so afraid of death that he keeps a highly trained medical team on call around the clock in order to cheat death as long as possible, to the detriment and neglect of all of the other hospital's patients. Over the course of the 44 minutes, you'll be privy to his deepest, darkest secrets. I found this episode to be very enjoyable, thanks, in no small part, to the quality of acting b y Hickey and Bruce Davidson (the doctor who's most involved in his case). All of the others involved give serviceable to kinda poor acting jobs. But those two carry this. Also it doesn't hurt that i find the theme of attempting to cheat death usually always fascinating.
My Grade: B+
