McQueen and Shatner in the beginning ........
22 May 2006
I found a VHS of this in the local library, and apparently the films were salvaged from a condemned Westinghouse warehouse.The resulting video quality was fairly good and the overall effect was similar to a 1950's capsule.

McQueen is commanding in this early appearance. His scenes with Bellamy and Shatner are very forceful. Writing and casting were excellent, especially given the primitive state of the TV industry at the time. Ralph Bellamy provided his usual solid performance.

For fans of Bill Shatner and Steve McQueen , this is a rare and fascinating gem. Both young actors display the charisma that led them to stardom in the next decade. Well worth watching......
