Featured review
Fritz Weaver is so great
Fritz Weaver is one of the most gifted, one of the best at what he does. His stage-filling personality, his size (larger-than-life, or rather, I should say EVEN-larger-than-life, because his real-life size is pretty damm big too), his imposing presence, and dramatic insight into the character, and his deep, rich, voice, with its rumbling vocal core, simultaneously harsh and relaxing, make him a nearly-one-of-a-kind actor. In movies like MARATHON MAN, BLACK SUNDAY, and DAY OF THE DOLPHIN, he often played secondary roles, but here, he's the star, the only character we really care about. Everyone else, even Kimble, seems like an extra.
Speaking of secondary roles, the actors include the great husky-voiced Michael Constantine, who was in every TV program ever made, and Dabbs Greer, one of those wonderful familiar but often unrecognized chaaracter-actors.
The story is taut, well-timed, and not predictable, and although Richard Kimble is as goody-goody and righteous as always, he doesn't have any of the horrible drippy virtue-speeches the writers often saddled him with in other episodes.
One of the best episodes.
