Wall of Silence

The comic offering for tonight's Screen One film is a transatlantic jaunt involving a schoolboy who bets his friend he'll be worth a million before the week is out. Christien Anholt, recently seen as the young man investigating the death of his father in ITV's rerun of The Blackheath Poisonings, stars as the 16-year-old boy. His adventures lead him to New York, where he meets his match in tycoon Martin Short (best remembered here as one of the hilarious Three Amigos with Steve Martin and Chevy Chase.)
