The Fugitive: Dossier on a Diplomat (1967)
Season 4, Episode 26
6/10
An interesting concept...but a bit rushed.
30 April 2018
An African ambassador stumbles and hits his head. Dr. Kimble walks Ambassor Unawa (Ivan Dixon) back to his residence but the Ambassador insists he stay for dinner. Soon, Unawa has Kimble living there...and even when he learns that Kimble is a convicted murderer, he offers to allow Kimble to stay. But there are two things also working against Kimble and his staying...the Ambassador's wife who has taken a strong dislike of Kimble and the Ambassador's ill health. What's next?

The biggest problem with this episode is that the Ambassador just meets Kimble and almost instantly befriends him. There is no natural or reasonable progression of this friendship...and it makes the whole thing seem unreal and contrived. Apart from that, it is still quite enjoyable.
