Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a prospective series pilot for CBS that died immediately, which explains why nothing resolves and everyone looks like they're waiting for episode two that never came.
Peter Markle went on to direct episodes of X-Files and CSI, proving that surviving this Hemingway-adjacent disaster was actually career boot camp.
