Gunsmoke (TV Series 1955–1975)
Mrs Friday was watching this on television.Touch of Evil (1958)
Like the 1958 film, the story concerns the planting of false evidence by policemen in order to secure a conviction - and, also as in the Orson Welles film, a suspect being framed eventually proves to be actually guilty.Bullitt (1968)
After affecting no interest in the George Fancy case and saying goodbye to Strange, Morse, whilst shaving, pauses to take a long, hard look at himself in the mirror, and clearly doesn't much like what he sees. This echoes Steve McQueen's long stare at his own reflection after shooting a man, at the end of the 1968 film.All the President's Men (1976)
When Thursday cautions Morse, "If you get your tit caught in a wringer, I can't help you", he is adapting a line from the 1976 film, uttered (as a threat) by Attorney-General John Mitchell to Bob Woodward in a telephone call.
