The Fugitive : Nemesis/World's End (TV Series) (1963) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tape contains two episodes of the classic 1960s drama starring David Janssen and Barry Morse. Nemesis originally aired in October of 1964 while World's End aired earlier, in September of '64.
Nemesis may be the more fascinating of the two episodes. While driving his son Phil Jr. (Kurt Russell) on a camping trip, Lt. Gerard learns that Kimble is in the area. He leaves Junior with the wife of Sheriff Deebold, but the youngster hides in their car as they close on The Fugitive. Kimble steals the car - and is shocked to find the son of his enemy in his presence.
Junior does all he can to leave clues to Kimble's whereabouts - he leaves a trail of football cards (Kimble confiscates the cards, then mails them back at the end), he lights a campfire, then leaves a sweater folded into an arrow delineating their direction (Gerard Sr. notes that "Phil never folded a sweater that neatly before in his life"). Eventually the two fugitives are caught by a local hunter named Corbin (Slim Pickens), but Kimble beats him up and escapes. Junior pursues but steps on a bear trap. Kimble frees him, and Junior's view of The Fugitive changes completely.
The earlier episode, World's End, is a more romantic story. Kimble reads a personal ad from "EB" - Eleanor Burnett, the daughter of John Burnett, his defense attorney who died soon after the trial. Eleanor Burnett and her mother Ada (Carmen Matthews) had hired a private detective to continue searching for Kimble's one-armed man and the private eye has found someone. But this one-armed man dies in a fire outside of Kansas City, news that devastates Kimble to the point where he drives to the area himself and verifies the story.
But the private eye does some more checking and finds that this one-armed man was incarcerated at the time of Helen Kimble's murder, but Eleanor Burnett has fallen in love with Kimble and withholds this information so she can have him - and hot on their trail is Lt. Gerard, who knows the Burnetts from when John was alive.
