In “Cassandra’s Dream,” written and directed by Woody Allan, two brothers become equally desperate for money. One has gambled himself into thousands of pounds of debt to the mob. The other yearns for the life of a big time hotel magnate, the owner of luxury vehicles and palatial home with a beautiful woman on his arm. He finds the girl, an actress performing at a small dinner theatre and investors in hotel properties who have offered him a partnership. Now, all he needs is the cash.
The boys find a source in their wealthy uncle, plastic surgeon living in Los Angeles who will gladly give the boys their much needed cash if they will eliminate a problem whose testimony about some charitable accounts will land him in jail. The boys reluctantly agree. Of course, it all turns out badly. No one kills in fiction without consequences. However, it got me thinking. What would I do if given the opportunity to have all my financial worries ended with the murder of a complete stranger. How bad would it have to be?
