Review of Mystery Train

Addiction to eavesdropping is an early sign of a destiny as documentarian. Here, the producer remembers an overheard encounter - one of those confrontations that distills casual maniuplation to its essence, the type that make you think, if I could just communicate this moment, I could carve one more notch on the key to human nature. And she DOES communicate it. It's all the more perfect for radio that she was apparently not facing the characters - causing her, for example, to describe the SOUND of their kisses, not the look. Thanks for this story.
