★★★ · 'What would -you- do?' kind of story. · PDGazette2 · 2016-11-05
Working-class, middle-aged city couple have money woes. Husband Al (Gallaudet), desperate for cash to pay for unseen daughter's healthcare, picks up wallet of wealthy Woods, then guilt-trips about it via wife Shirley (Dvorak)'s sense of ethics. Outcome may be unrealistic but this would be a good moral story for young people.
