Storyboard - Secrets (1983)

Serial womanizer Miles Longstreet is asked to vet a potential new employer for their security services, Eve Hanning. While her references and answers seem to hold up, Miles becomes convinced that she is not all she appears to be and decides to investigate her further. But as he has her put under surveillance, is he being paranoid or is she really hiding a secret? Or is it him that cannot be trusted?

Starring John Castle, Barbara Kellerman, Clifford Rose, Judy Buxton, Gwen Taylor, David Langton, Holly De Jong, Sylvia Kay, Janet Key, Clive Merrison, Anna Palk, Sayo Inaba and David Rose. This is from the anthology series Storyboard and was originally broadcast on TV on August 9th 1983. Featuring a cheery John Castle and an enigmatic Barbara Kellerman (she from The Lion, the Witch & The Wardrobe), this is one I thoroughly enjoyed and is helped by a variety of familiar faces in support. Tense, absorbing and one you are never sure exactly where it is going until about two thirds of the way in, you begin to wonder if it is her that cannot be trusted or John Castle's character. I loved it - and I suspect John Castle fans will for a number of reasons.
