Great episode! @Oznell @Pearlee - I understand why you both liked it so much.
It was suspenseful throughout with all the cat and mouse, hide and seek going on. Such a series of coincidences and being in the wrong place at the right time. It was strange that after her husband left and was being tailed, that another cop wasn't watching Donna also. I loved the scenes between Kimble and Donna and they were so believable as a loving brother and sister. As has been said before, Jacqueline was perfect for the role. Also liked that he had a bouquet of flowers for Donna.
I was a little surprised that Harriet gave up Kimble at the very end, especially after all the trouble she went through with him, but her marriage and husband were more important than his career or Kimble's fate. @Oznell - agree that she was dressed as a typical 60's politicians' wife.
Also thought it was strange at the game, when Kimble disappeared, Gerard didn't at least run out the door to try and find him. Sometimes, Gerard has that "deer in the headlights" look after Kimble once again has eluded him - HaHa.
There are times I get distracted by things like decor, etc. that are so dated and that I remember. Those window treatments @Oznell ! The rotary dial pay phone, the candleholder with the fishnet covering on the restaurant table and the black wreath indicating a death. Haven't seen that since the mid -60's.
I would definitely watch this episode again,
@twinsister. So happy you liked it too -- I knew you would.
Yes, the scenes between brother and sister were so touching, and the resemblance between JS and DJ is just uncanny, down to their smile (I always wonder if they thought they looked alike). And yes, it is very suspenseful. If only JS hadn't looked over to see Kimble one last time, Gerard would never have been tipped off that Kimble was there and chase him. I always enjoy Gerard's look of frustration when Kimble evades him.
So glad you mentioned the flowers, I was going to. Kimble--- always thinking of others. That was so sweet. 💐 He was also quite a gentleman lying to Ballenger about how he got into his hotel room, to protect Mrs. Ballenger. This was another epi written by Don Brinkley, Christie's father.
Like you, I was distracted by all the 1960s stuff that I remembered. Mrs Ballinger's hat was pill-box-y (and real fur, still commonly worn in the 60s). Those chain locks again on the doors! And OY the window treatments in Ballenger's hotel room, dreadful, like in a brothel! The telephones actually ringing --- I miss that!
As for just one cop staking out the Tafts house and only following Len, I just assume the police force was too small to have 2 cops on a stakout, esp if they were only speculating that Kimble would show up.
