Hot on the Trail of the 1993 Blockbuster “The Fugitive” - Part 1

Accused of brutally murdering his wife, Dr. Richard Kimble, played by megastar Harrison Ford, is relentlessly pursued by the shrewd and witty U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, played by Tommy Lee Jones.  This is the simple but engaging premise behind the 1993 blockbuster “The Fugitive.”  But what’s the story behind the making of this smash hit? That’s the question we track down in this episode– the first of a two-part feature on everyone’s favorite ‘wrongfully-accused’ film, “The Fugitive.” On what true crime case was the original TV series “The Fugitive” allegedly based? How did the movie’s plot evolve as it moved through the various screenwriters who worked on it? What impact did Harrison Ford have on the film, and why was he initially reluctant to bring in Tommy Lee Jones? And just how much of the dialogue actually was improvised?  These are just a few of the topics we discuss in this fun behind-the-scenes episode that is anything but hinky!  The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.  You can support Scandal Water Podcast by rating, reviewing, and subscribing to the show.
