Husband, father and IRS tax agent Fred Durant, despite being a respected suburbanite, is often plagued by lewd thoughts.
In the final act, Fred drunkenly babbles about his regrets and his sexless marriage prior exploding with rage.
[1] Steven Puchalski of Shock Cinema Magazine criticized the script's psychology, stating that it was "all too simplistic" and called the finale a "mess of bad decisions and violence."
She stated that although Fred was surrounded by a "fine" supporting cast, it was "impossible not to associate Robert Reed with the show".
[4] A reporter of The Evening News also noted the contrast, stating that the role of Durant was "offbeat casting for Reed".
