A short 80s film. Plot revolves around a dinner party and a 'magicians' intriguing proposal. Anybody name it?

IMDb|IMDB has a "power search" option, but there don't seem to be any movies that fit your description. imdb.com/list Can you remember a single actor who was in the film? Could it have been an episode of a Televisions|TV show?

I have been looking for a short story read by my father at school in the 1950s that has an identical plot. Maybe the film was based on the story? Thanks for your help.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
