Featured review
See Hollywood and Die
Made in an era where violent youth culture was certainly a thing in the media. If you were of a nervous disposition or just old. I doubt you set foot outside your house for a fortnight after watching this episode. In some ways this is a story that is ahead of its time.
Dr Kimble is working at a gas station in New Mexico. Two hoodlums rob the place, shoot the boss dead and get involved in a shootout with a passing police car.
Kimble finds himself hostage with a young woman Joanne Spencer (Brenda Vaccaro) who stopped at the gas station.
The unhinged villains are on the way to Hollywood where they dream of living the high life. Thinking on his feet to keep himself and Joanne alive. Kimble tells the two men that he was planning a job in LA. An extra twist is added when they later discover that Kimble is the escaped fugitive.
I thought this was more about youth culture of the period. The two thugs Miles (Chris Robinson) and Vinnie (Lou Antonio) seem to be without much thought or remorse. Even though they killed a man and shot at the police. Vinnie who is the calm one draws attention to himself at a diner where he is rude. Miles is constantly trying to rape Joanne and has acquired the taste for killing.
In a quieter moment Joanne confesses to Kimble that she was due to get married the day before. She ran out as she wanted to experience some excitement and ended up in this dangerous situation.
