David Janssen in colour before 'The Fugitive'
29 July 2014
Here we have David Janssen in colour as a cop before he went on to run away from the cops in 'The Fugitive'. Even with his uniform, he doesn't look or act like a policeman. He is forever a fugitive in his soul because he always has that wandering look in his eyes as though he's not quite settled in the here and now.

There are some unresolved issues in this film. If the girl is under eighteen and that it's illegal for a police officer to kiss her, why doe she kiss her at the end? She is seductive whilst he's on duty, but he doesn't show restraint. The film also doesn't make up its mind whether or not it's a film about kidnapping, under-age petting or forest fires. In fact, it's about nothing in particular, and unless you want to see Janssen in colour before 'The Fugitive' I would say stay away from this film.
