The greatest TV show of all time
The Fugitive - "Il Wind"
Directed by Joseph Sargent
Written by Al C. Ward
S3 E24
March 8, 1966
quote:I'm going to guesstimate (I actually don't mind that word) 99.99% of posters here have never seen an episode of the original Fugitive. This isn't a bad episode to start with. It has many of the show's classic elements: Kimble trusted by a community (and a girl falling in love with him), Gerard showing up to spoil his idyll, Kimble having to re-prove himself worthy of trust.
This episode is something of a family affair, with John McIntire, his wife Jeanette Nolan and their son Tim McIntire) cast in key roles. As "Mike Johnson", Kimble (David Janssen) blends into a community of migrant workers in Texas near the Gulf Coast, befriending the nomadic Kelly family. Arriving in the community, Lt. Gerard threatens Lester Kelly (John McIntire) with arrest unless he reveals Kimble's whereabouts. But before Gerard can move in for the capture, a hurricane sweeps through the area, forcing everyone to take refuge in a single, none-too-solid structure. Ultimately, Kimble finds himself in the ironic position of begging the migrants to donate blood in order to save Gerard's life--even while the storm continues to rage all around them. -- Allmovie
"Ill Wind" has one very impressive, very noirish shot, in the warehouse when Kimble is trying to escape. He thinks he's made it when he looks in the doorway and sees Gerard, backlit like some sort of avenging angel.
Film nor fans should give The Fugitive a try. There has never been another TV series quite like it.

Does that site have all the episodes so you could watch it from the pilot to the finale?
