Great show. And ended with Dr. Kimble being exonnerated. Seems the one-arm man was for real. The movie was excellent. And the train crash was worth the price of admission.
My l'il sister and her family came to the Pond in 1993, and like good hosts, we took them to see the movie.
"Wow. That [ train wreck ] was worth the price of admission," I said to my family just minutes into the film.
From Wikipedia: The series was conceived by Roy Huggins and produced by Quinn Martin. It is popularly believed that the series was based in part on the real-life story of Sam Sheppard, an Ohio doctor accused of murdering his wife. Although convicted and imprisoned, Sheppard claimed that his wife had been murdered by a "bushy-haired man". Huggins denied basing the series on Sheppard, though the show's film editor, Ken Wilhoit, was married to Susan Hayes, who had had an intimate relationship with Sheppard prior to the murder and testified during the first trial in 1954.
P.S. David Janssen later played the title role as "Harry O." Now that's a good name.
