"The Fugitive: Fear in a Desert City" (1963)

Directed by Walter Grauman

Premiering in 1963, "The Fugitive" quickly enraptured audiences as an unusually gritty, noir-influenced human drama. Over four seasons, the popular series about a decent man falsely accused of murder and on-the-lam proved masterfully suspenseful and unexpectedly introspective. Screening tonight is a rare 35mm print of an unaired version of the original pilot, which includes numerous variances from the program as originally broadcast.

Executive Producer: Quinn Martin. Screenwriter: Stanford Whitmore. Cast: David Janssen, Barry Morse, Brian Keith, Vera Miles.

35mm, b/w, 60 min.
