Personal Quote:

[his guiding principle for Maverick (1957) series writers] In the traditional Western, the situation was always serious but never hopeless. In a 'Maverick' story, the situation is always hopeless but never serious. See more »

Trivia:

Denied, until his death, that The Fugitive (1963) was based on the Samuel Sheppard murder case. Instead, he maintained that the series was a modern-day "Les Miserables", with "Dr. Kimble" in the "Jean Valjean" role and "Lt. Gerard" as "Javert". See more »
