One of my favorite TV shows (1963-67) – The Fugitive. David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimball, a doctor wrongly accused of killing his wife who on the train ride to the death house miraculously is able to escape thanks to a derailment. Doggedly pursued by Detective Gerard (Barry Morse), he constantly has to be on the move, change his identity, all the while seeking the “one armed man” who he saw leaving his house before his wife’s corpse was discovered. This episode has Fritz Weaver and Michael Constantine as guest stars. Btw that is William Conrad’s voice doing the opening narration. In this episode from April 12, 1966 Kimble comes across the hiding place of another fugitive, Joe Tucker (played by Weaver), who is haggard, wounded, and paranoid. Bitter about being wrongly convicted of embezzlement on perjured testimony, Tucker has been running for four years. At first highly suspicious of Kimble, his bad condition ultimately forces him to trust Kimble a little.
