Featured review
Will the real Leonard Hull please stand up
Dick picks up a ride from John Milford and they stop for coffee . And Dick gets a hamburger. Milford heads for the bathroom before the food gets there and two cops enter. Dick gets nervous as they look at him like they recognize him, and tries to eat his burger in one bite before paying the check. The cops stop him as he leaves and bring him Milford's jacket, thinking it to be his. They ask for his name and he gives them the driver's license in the jacket. The cops are impressed to see that Dick is Leonard Hull. Dick doesn't know who the hull that is, but he figures it's better than being Richard Kimble. Anyways, this Hull guy is supposed to testify against crime boss Blacky Blackbird, and is taken into protective custody. Given that another witness has already been murdered, it seems improbable that Hull would pick up a hitchhiker. Unless, of course, that hitchhiker was Richard Kimble. Great. Sheriff Ed Asner takes Dick to see Mrs Hull in a hotel room, and Dick is sure his goose is cooked. Surprisingly, she acts like Dick is her husband, but really thinks he's been sent to kill her. And she doesn't turn him in as not her husband because... she wants to make a deal with him? OK. Kimble convinces her he's not a hit man, and she sends the cop guarding the door to get the paper, get the paper, while they get away. Meanwhile, the real Hull is arrested by the cops, one of which is James Doohan. Beam me out of here Scotty, says Hull, but Doohan says he can't do that yet. Hull tells Asner that he's Leonard Hull, and Asner high tails it to the motel, but the only one in the room is the tied up cop. Kimble has spunk. Asner hates spunk. Now, the real hit man is after Dick and the dame, and shoots her in the arm. Dick is surprised that for once, he's not the one who got shot. So Dick and the hit man duke it out, with Dick getting the Duke thanks to a distraction from the Mrs., who does the right thing by covering for Dick as Blackbird gets indicted. So it looks like it's bye bye Blackbird. Kind of a far fetched story, in that the woman didn't fall in love with Dick.
