Description:
This second episode in the superb Foyle's War series finds Detective Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) settled into his unwanted fate solving "provincial murders" in the English countryside (while colleagues fight Hitler overseas via plum intelligence jobs). "The White Feather" begins with the arrest of a dim hotel maid for inexplicably treasonous sabotage, but quickly escalates with the murder of the young woman's pro-Nazi employer. Slithering around the action is an outspoken anti-Semite (Charles Dance) with a stolen, classified document and Foyle's troubled assistant, Sergeant Milner (Anthony Howell). With this sophomore effort, Foyle's War gracefully falls into certain patterns of storytelling, relationships, dialogue, etc., but by no means does that signal complacency. Series creator-writer Anthony Horowitz, like Foyle (but unlike Foyle's superiors), knows these little mysteries may only be shards of Britain's wartime crisis--but what is the worth of justice if it doesn't prevail at home? --Tom Keogh
