It wasn't just the acting was great, but also setting up the shots. Credit must also be given to those behind the lens for this show. At one time the number two lawyer saw that the credit report wasn't changed to reflect the truth and became mad. I believe that it was at another, more memorable meeting with lawyer Burl, the number two lawyer, and the credit bureau manager were discussing the situation and Burl wanted to see the file. It wasn't available right then. It was then that the number two lawyer, I can't remember who he was, was telling, in low but expressing determination tones that Burl Ives was so mad that he might take a whole year off to fight this case. The camera was set up so that while he was speaking, Burl was just fuming in the background. Then Burl spoke; "You can call it a threat if you like. Get the file." in low determined tones. And at the end when the camera moved to show a copy of the still incorrect credit report on a table, and you heard Kevin interviewing for a job. Then the camera reviewed Kevin Ireland's (Darren Mcgavin, but the spelling is probably wrong.) face as he was speaking to nobody. He wasn't practicing. He was in his own little world where he was getting a job. They were great shots. I just hope that I am remembering them right.

A stunningly memorable episode of "The Bold Ones/The Lawyers": "Brian Darrell" can't get a job because of an error on his credit report. Each time he tries to fix it, the "Credit Bureau" slams him again for his efforts... The show itself had such a powerful effect that Congress began investigating the Credit Reporting Industry and forced reforms by law. The effects it depicted were shattering, on "Brian Darrell", the public and the Federal Government and gave birth to a fair credit reporting act that gave people more access to their credit information and the right to challenge or at least defend themselves against erroneous/misleading reporting. All you need now is a way to decipher what they really are saying about you...
