Turn of fate

Tptv is showing this as turn of fate. IMDb lists it as two different shows. I've enjoyed the episodes I've seen so far until this one. Charles Boyer wanders through the night for far too long. Veteran watchers of these shows will pick the twist easily enough.

The Clock Struck Twelve
Prismark1029 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Charles Boyer plays a Doctor who is in shock. The narration in his head makes it clear that he witnessed a murder.

The Doctor knows he needs to call for help, ring the police. He goes to a bar but the only sound that comes out for his mouth, is asking the time.

It seems the Doctor saw his friend killed, but apart from asking for the time, he is dazed and confused.

The Doctor is ripe to be ripped off when he enters a dive bar. He gets robbed before he realises that his wife might be in danger.

There are no real shocks in this story. You can sense that the Doctor is the one who is the killer. Maybe he is on his way home to kill his wife and not save her.

Boyer is good but the script does not do the story justice as the twist is easy to guess.
