Movie Reviews of Warning Shot
Movie Review: Miss ya, David
Summary: 4 Stars
Here we have a mystery/drama with David Janssen as a man fighting to clear his name for a crime he did not do. Wow, how original. Actually, I really like this film and was very pleased to find it on DVD. Though it has a low-budget feel, it is well written and directed with Janssen giving his usual understated performance. He gets excellent support from a cast that is a who's who of hollywood legends. Among them Walter Pigeon, Carrol O'Conner, Joan Collins(at the prime of her young beauty) Keenan Wynn and Stephanie Powers. Janssen made this while on hiatus between seasons three and four of The Fugitive. Reportedly, he was already planning on his 4th season as televisions most wanted man to be his last and was hoping to turn his smallscreen succsess into big screen stardom. (Being a Movie star was his life long dream that eluded him) Sadly, none of his post Fugitive feature films did very well box office wise, and by the early 70's he was back on TV where he was always in demand until his untimely death in 1980. His tall, intense figure fits the role fine in Warning Shot as a police detective charged with excessive force, he shot a suspect and no one believes him that the man drew on him first. The title is a good play on the cop-movie practice of firing a shot in the air to warn or persuade a suspect to surrender. Something that is not done in real life in any city in the country. That issue is adressed in the film at his initial hearing. It's explained that a round fired any where but at the target could strike an innocent even blocks away. Much like how for years, in western and crime films we saw the good guy shoot the gun out of someones hand. Warning Shoot is highly recommended for fans of film-noir and especially for David Janssen fans. One last thing, recently, while watching this film and seeing Janssen playing a police officer and rattling off official jargon I had a "What If" thought. Suppose someone else had been cast as Dr. Richard Kimble. Say Tony Franciosa or James Franciscus who were leading picks for the role by the network until series creator Roy Huggins and producer Quinn Martin insisted on David Janssen. And then what if Janssen would have been brought on board to play Lt. Phillip Gerard? I'm glad it didn't turn out that way, but even if it had, he would have been convincing. Janssen was one of the most underrated actors of his day, and left us much too soon.
