Storyline

After philosophy Professor Todhunter is told he has 6 months left to live, he is barred from teaching by his college so there won't be a scandal if he drops dead in class. Discussing a hypothetical man with 6 months to live with a group of friends, Todhunter asks each what he'd do in his last 6 months. One says he'd commit a "social murder" kill someone who is not a criminal but without whom society would be better off. The professor obsesses on the idea and actually comes across a situation involving two of his friends where he thinks it would be a good idea to act on his obsession.—Ron Kerrigan

Short Review

Very interesting philosophically. And it starred one of my all time old favorite actors, Thomas Mitchell, who BTW died of Mesothelioma, one of the movies advertisers on The Movie Channel.
