Monte Cristina meets JOHN Wayne

The story line is Count of Monte Cristo “esque“. I enjoyed the premise and plot twists. Tom Blocks performance, editing and dramatic use of music has Cotten better and better this being his best to date in my opinion.
I recommend this performance to Monte Cristo and Good over Evil fans.
