The Fugitive Recaptured: The 30th Anniversary Companion to a Television Classic
Customer Review: Book This One!
Author Ed Robertson has assembled a wonderful homage to a cult classic. The Fugitive Recaptured was released concurrent with the re-release of The Fugitive series on A&E in 1993. The book is a labor of love, weaving the vision of series creator Roy Huggins, the near unanimous opposition of the shows premise (by network execs.), right to the selection of star David Janssen. According to series producer Quinn Martin, some 50 prominent actors in Hollywood were considered for the role, but Janssen was THE choice. Being a poker buddy of the producer didn't hurt either. The book is teeming with production information, interviews with co-stars (Barry Morse & Jacqueline Scott) as well as guest stars (Ed Asner & Carol Rossen, e.g.), episode synopsis, and numerous photos. All in all, the book makes for an interesting frolic down memory lane. I also have a copy of Mel Proctor's book "The Official Fan's Guide To The Fugitive". It serves as a nice "running buddy" to Robertson's account. Buy one or both of these books, if you dare to be "recaptured".
Customer Review: A must for every Fugitive fan
An outstanding companion piece to the great(if not THE greatest) dramatic series ever made. Ed Robertson really did his homework in researching for this book. Jam packed with info and anecdotes from the crew and many fine stars who guested on the show. Dozens of photos both stills from the episodes and candid shots taken on the set. Detailed synopsises of each episode(without spoilers) Even a special list of every name used by Richard Kimble, jobs he held, and places where each story took place. Highly recommended.
