Script review - "Tales from the Crypt: Deadline" (1991) by Walter Hill & Mae Woods (warning: spoilers)

Read this because it was co written by Hill - have never seen the show. Surprisingly wordy for something with Hill's name on it but this was his wordy phase. Good tight story. Lots of noir elements - alcoholic journo, femme fetale, sleeping wife, twist ending (the murder he's investigating is of a woman he's sleeping with, killed by her cuckolded husband because she's cheating).
