But she had other plans – plans that make tonight’s episode the Must-See-est of all

The San Francisco Giants completely crushed the Detroit Tigers in Game 1, and eventually outpitched and outhit them in Game 2. Now the series moves to Detroit for Game 3 - which, unless the Tigers find a way to reverse things, may make this a very one-sided affair.

Simone Signoret is featured in two films tonight made decades apart, but sharing a sense of foreboding, as well as an intricate mystery plot.
