William Campbell Gault

A neo-noir anthology television series, set in somber Los Angeles right after World War II and before the election of American President John F. Kennedy. The episodes, although filmed in color, mimicked what had been done by Hollywood filmmakers during the film noir era of the 1940s and 1950s in terms of tone, look, and story content.

Retired football player and current P. I. Brock Callahan (Ken Clark) is hired to investigate the death of a decorator. The police think it's a suicide, but Callahan's not so sure. Directed by Don Siegel from a script by Stirling Silliphant as the pilot for a CBS television show called "Brock Callahan" which was not picked up.
