SOFT FOCUS

Susie Breck portrays Elizabeth Cabot, a sharp, no-nonsense businesswoman, with soft, feminine vocal inflections. In well-done, sexually charged scenes the listener becomes aware of her beauty and the men she attracts. Dick Hill depicts Jack Fairfax, her business partner and romantic liaison, in attorney-like tones, until Elizabeth rejects him. Then through enunciation, vocal tone and pace, he depicts Jack's anger, outrage and raw hurt, drawing the listener into this high-tech theft and mystery, which unfolds into a surprising conclusion.
