The Politics and Psychology of The Fugitive

In this video I look at both the 1963-67 TV series and the 1993 movie versions of The Fugitive. Both deal with a man alone and on the run for a crime he didn't commit and the psychological forces at play with both him and the man who pursues him. Both also deal with political and social themes of their respective times. The Fugitive was an excellently written, produced and acted TV show which deserved its awards and huge audience and the movie is a worthy, if abridged successor.
I have not tackled the recent 2020 version which retains the name and some of the premise but dispenses with the original characters. I wanted to draw comparisons with original TV show and movie.
If you haven't seen either the 1960s TV series or the movie then I thoroughly recommend them both, especially the TV series which has a high degree of writing quality maintained over a 4 year period and it's use of a story arc paved the way for more modern shows who follow that format.
The Fugitive was a Quinn Martin Production and distributed by Warner Brothers. This is an analysis and review and qualifies as fair use.
