Harry Orwell has been retired from the force ever since he caught a bullet that lodged inoperably in his back. But that doesn’t mean the man called Harry O is out of the action. Moonlighting as a private sleuth, fighting off daily back pain and typically traveling by public bus instead of his own car (“It gives a man a chance to think”), he’s on the trail of the lowlife who murdered his pal’s son-in-law. It won’t be the only time the killer strikes before Harry closes in. David Janssen (The Fugitive) portrays dogged detective Harry in the telefilm that was the second of two pilots preceding his memorable Harry O series. Among the highlights: young Jodie Foster as Liberty, the wise-beyond-her-years homeless waif Harry befriends.

David Janssen plays Harry Orwell, a retired L.A. cop who was shot during a robbery and whose partner was killed in the incident. Harry is in constant pain due to the bullet lodged near his spine, but he works off and on as a private detective to supplement his pension. Late one night, Harry is approached in his home by one of the men who shot him (Martin Sheen) to help find the other man (Sal Mineo) involved in the robbery, who he says is trying to kill him.

Жизнь артиста кино полосата как зебра — головокружительный успех чередуется с поражением. Для Тони Хантера, выброшенного из Голливуда, наступил период забвения. Но, слава богу, что у парня есть верные друзья: Лестер и Лили. Они уговаривают Тони испытать удачу на сцене в постановке Бродвейского мюзикла. После ряда неудач, он принимает участие в Нью-Йорском шоу, но и тут все против него: и прима балерина, и ревнивый хореограф, который его просто ненавидит. А продюсер и режиссер его вообще на дух не переносит. Но шоу продолжается, и упрямый Тони все-таки ухитряется превратить его в самое «горячее» на Бродвее.

Историю взлета и падения Джонатана Шилдса, безжалостного и одержимого голливудского продюсера, вспоминают самые близкие ему люди, которых он предал в тот или иной момент — кинозвезда Джорджия Лоррисон, режиссер Фред Эмиэл и сценарист Джеймс Ли Бартлоу. Только кино существовало для Шилдса, только ради него он жил, и только успех волновал его очерствевшую душу… Роль могла быть списана с Вэла Льютона, экстравагантного продюсера 40-х, автора «Людей-кошек». Но, вероятнее всего, прототипом послужил Дэвид О. Селзник, когда он был еще продюсером фильмов категории «Б» и только мечтал об «Унесенных ветром». Персонаж Ланы Тернер легко идентифицировать с Дианой Бэрримор, а Дика Пауэлла (1904-1963) — с писателем Фрэнсисом Скоттом Фицджеральдом, чей роман с Голливудом закончился горько.
