The Early Roy Huggins
Cartel película "Los forasteros" (Hangman´s Knot) 1952, de Roy Huggins.
Donna Reed-Lee Marvin "Los forasteros" (Hangman´s knot) 1952, de Roy Huggins.
1966.
The obligatory biker gang episode of Run For Your Life.
Run for Your Life, "The Cold, Cold War Of Paul Bryan". W/2 yrs to live a man chases good times w/the jet set, but gets caught in a high stakes card game. Classic 1st episode of this Fugitive variant (Roy Huggins created both). W/Ben Gazzara; guests Katharine Ross, Robert Loggia, Celeste Holm (1965)
I've watched about 20 or so RFYLs. I've noticed that while in The Fugitive (produced by Quinn Martin, not Huggins) Richard Kimble confronts his Kafkaesque situation in every episode, I have yet to see a RFYL where his terminal condition is the focus. Instead the emphasis is on high living among the upper crust (many episodes are set in Europe or Latin American resorts).
It makes me wonder... Huggins claimed he created The Fugitive b/c he
wanted to do a modern "drifter' series, and while audiences would accept a guy drifting around in a western, they demanded a reason for modern-day drifting.
Could RFYL have originated b/c Huggins wanted to do a jet set series, & needed a premise to put his hero there?
