- Episode 1-6 "Killing of One Human Being". William Shatner, Howard DaSilva, Lonny Chapman, Jessica Walter. Guest star Martin Sheen. 13 episodes aired from Jan - May 1965. Sorry about the quality of the video....best I've got.
Martin Sheen's talent, here at only 24 years old, steals every scene he's in.
He DOES, doesn't he? ALMOST didn't post this one because of the quality of the video transfer. Sorry....best I had.
Sheen is ahead of his time as an actor.
@@RubyPearls-Shatner-channel Glad you decided to post, Ruby Pearl. Age 77 now, and I missed this series, back in the day...
@@1VirginiaL Only have 8 of the 13 episodes but they're a good watch if the video quaility on some doesn't bother you.
@@RubyPearls-Shatner-channel The fine actors of that time, thoughtful exploration of social concerns...maybe the furry video just adds to the ambiance of nostalgia! :)
"You know what gets me mad? The automatic response, the intellectual stiletto, very witty, very glib." Excellent piece of writing, especially "intellectual stiletto". Such high literacy level, realistic scenes, superb acting, and nary a high-speed car chase, shoot-out or fist fight. Sigh... such quality never to be seen again.
Ruby Pearl, thanks for posting! Sheen's acting makes one feel a profound sadness for his character, Kahane, in the final scene. Few actors possess that power.
This entire series may have been among the last "adult" television pieces of that era, harking back to the Playhouse 90 days of Chayevsky, Serling, et al. Ethics, integrity and honor appear as major themes explored by the writer in an highly entertaining and tight drama, not to mention the corrupting influence of power, politics and money in our system of justice. This is a powerhouse series that deserves to be resurrected and appreciated. The acting range of "pre-Kirk" Shatner amazes! I've seen every episode you've posted; now I want to watch the entire series. I will recommend your site to my friends. Be well.
Bless your pea-pickin' heart! You're SO welcome!
It starts slow but builds to intense surprising drama. Excellent. Capt. Kirk...uh, er....Shatner was excellent. I forgot about the Kirk character. Damned shame the series was short-lived. Makes todays TV seem even worse than it is. Thanks to UA-cam and Ruby Pearl. I didnt recognize Sheen!
William shatner est physiquement la plus belle créature que dieu a créé.
I wish William Shatner's character in this series could be in a new series following him as the same person, but at 90 years old. He could do it!!! He's still vibrant and intellectually capable. I never knew this show existed until a few days ago when it came up on my recommended. It makes me so sad that the series didn't last. As a Star Trek fan, I never thought I'd say this, but I much prefer him in For The People.
He brought this character to Kirk.
Directed by Stuart Rosenberg ("Cool Hand Luke").
Written by 5 time Emmy nominee Ernest Kinoy ("Roots", the "Blacklist" episode of "The Defenders" with Jack Klugman and Robert Drivas).
Others in the cast besides Martin Sheen: Peggy Wood ("The Sound of Music"), Philip Bosco (back as tough cop Willard), Robert Drivas, as Sheen's pal, Louise Latham as the mother with a baby, Herb Edelman as the bar owner, James Broderick ("Brenner", "Family") as the victim's older boy friend.
And didn't Dolph Sweet do a nice job as Detective Bernstein?🎭
MARTIN SHEEN EXCELLENT EVEN THEN
Shatner's involvement with the whole "Defenders" franchise (that spun off this series) is interesting. In the Studio One episode "The Defender", which became the pilot for "Defenders", Shatner played Kenneth Preston, the role played by Robert Reed in the series.
Sunday nights, 9pm(et)....opposite NBC's "BONANZA".
Originally telecast on February 7, 1965.
What could possibly have had a chance against Bonanza in 1965 - besides the Super Bowl?
The first "Super Bowl" wasn't held until January 15, 1967.
Sadly; nothing, not even this most excellent production....
This series and a few other pre-Captin Kirk TV stories are excellent. Ordinarily the picture and sound are too far gone for me to watch but I have with these turned on the automatic subtitling which also struggles but helps.
Keep the hatband, Bill. In 50 years you can check the DNA on it.
Vivaldi ahhhh my favourite
This program didn’t make it.
In the late 1970s, or mid and late 1950s, with some changes, it would have.
In the mid 1960s you had western family dramas, rural comedy shows. These were the hits.
His sons inherited his talent.
2:34 Marion's address is given as 3465 West 12th Street: that would be somewhere in the Hudson River close to New Jersey 😮
Im confused...its said he wore a hair piece for Star Trek but his hair looks normal before he was Capt Kirk
And looks the same in 1958 when he played "Billy Budd" and many more shows after that.....But from the T. J Hooker time and on He is "wiggin it"
Maybe be there wasn't much balding that needed to be covered up back then but by the time of Star Trek he lost even more hair. Oh BTW young Jessica Walter was hot.
Oh yeah the one asking to send out for coffee, that's a young Dolph Sweet who years later played Police Chief Carl Kinisky on the TV sitcom "Gimme A Break" until he died.
Yeah, Kirk and the old James Bond, Sean Connery, both were wigged up before the Trumpster.
don't know why women go for a baldie
SHEEN OUTSHINES ALL OF THEM ESP SHATNER
Awful audio!
Awful video also.
@@RubyPearls-Shatner-channel How come? The others look fine
@@Dolphiny_Link I copied it off a bad vhs tape. Wasn't even going to upload it, but.....I did.
@@RubyPearls-Shatner-channel thanks anyway. I love this show, and all the other old movies you upload
