The Bold Ones: The Lawyers: The Invasion of Kevin Ireland (1971)
A program that began a Federal Investigation and early credit reporting reforms
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...
Night Gallery: Whisper (1973)
Sally Field undertakes a role that may well have led her into "SYBL"...
Meet Irene and Charlie, a charming young, seventies couple living with a secret. She can connect with and assume the personalities of the dead, recent or long past. It's "her game" and Charlie indulges her in it because it makes her "different", more colorful. Only this time, the rules Irene has played by have been changed by someone else, and here in the Deep South, the often "cold, wintry things" that usually come and go are about to give way to one who doesn't want to let Irene return...
A quiet Plantation House and a small Southern town provide the setting in which only a local doctor, the ever-present camera and the unheard, ghostly whispers communicate with Irene and Charlie.
Her ability to transition between one persona and another seamlessly, in real time, are displayed here, one of the talents that drive Sally Field always toward the top in her acting (and maybe her role as "Sybil" three years later). Dean Stockwell is excellent as her very loving husband, at once amused and intrigued - and frightened - by Irene's game.
