    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    Coronet Blue: was a summer replacement series. I think the show was a premise for a regular TV series and it didn't fly as such.The episodes were left open ended (in my opinion anyway) and I was a teenager when the TV series was aired. In New York it was summer. The only reason I was watching this series is because I come from a dysfunctional family and the only entertainment we had was a TV.The show ended in late October I believe, and there was no ending at all. It was left open ended. I didn't ever know what Coronet Blue was and who Frank Converse's character was. If I hadn't read the IMDb summary I still would NOT have known what the TV series was about.That was why I gave it a one star rating despite other watchers positive feedback. The Fugitive was one of a kind giving an ending to it's series, and no other show followed that.

    It was a shame the show wasn't picked up, because it would have gone on for years and been a classic. Sure it was one of many shows inspired by "The Fugitive" back in the 1960s, but there were so many original touches, it didn't matter. I guessed "Michael" was an agent, but I never would have guessed he was a Russian. If they made it today, he'd probably turn out to be a CIA agent being hounded by his own agency because he was going to expose some nefarious right-wing plot.It was also a shame that Frank Converse was denied the role that would have made him a major TV and perhaps film star. "NYPD" didn't last long and he never found the right role to give him the recognition and stardom he deserved.

    This was, to me, my first exposure to the possibility of "good television." This show was SOOOO special because it was a 30-year precursor of the ALIAS/LOST/PRISON BREAK intricate continuing series.In today's entertainment marketing environment, this show would have been through the roof in ratings and been short-listed right into production. Back then, I think the network was stunned by the audience reaction. By the time they realized what it hit it had on its hands, it was too late to do anything about it. What a shame.Bravo!! Artie

    I see this on SuperChannel, which is a Japanese cable channel that's basically a graveyard for short-lived American TV shows. (Shaft, Serpico, Funny Face,...etc.) I got into it quickly.This is obviously the inspiration for Matt Damon's 'Bourne' films.The amnesia angle was played very well. Watching Frank Converse do what he felt he needed to do without knowing WHY was eerie.You really felt for the guy. I'm surprised this show wasn't a hit and Converse wasn't a bigger star.It was apparent that the cold war was the 'hidden' secret. But since the show never made it...we never really found out until Larry Cohen told us himself.
