E Fugitive Unum
Richard Kimble's desperate chase leads him on a dark odyssey through
the big cities and down the lonely roads of America. His drama unfolds
across at least two dozen States of the Union, plus the District of
Columbia, and even ends up taking him to
Mexico and
the border of Canada. The list below highlights some of the stations
of Kimble's flight.
While he may hide in the back of a laundry truck or
hitch a ride from time to
time, Kimble's preferred way of getting from place to place is
definitely to take a bus. In many episodes, buses play a
fateful role — serving even as
getaway vehicles sometimes. Kimble's story so
glamorized this mode of transportation that a 1966 ad campaign by
Greyhound Lines featured actors
from the TV series, who were seen boarding and riding buses from the
Greyhound fleet. Perhaps not surprisingly, the commercials omitted
references to the many bus hostage situations, incidents of driver
negligence and injurious accidents which regularly occurred on the
show — for instance, in such episodes as
WINGS OF AN ANGEL and
LANDSCAPE WITH RUNNING FIGURES.
Throughout Kimble's travels, though, one can't help having the uncanny
notion that all the landscapes he visits have something in common. In
fact, they all seem to resemble Southern California. Even in the
hometown of this most itinerant Hoosier, Stafford, Indiana, palm trees
line the streets, as we discover in the thrilling finale of
THE JUDGMENT. But to a
running man, the entire world can narrow itself down to a recurring
nightmare, and every place he goes can seem monotonously the same . . .
