The Outsider

Directed by Michael Ritchie

With Darren McGavin, Sean Garrison, Shirley Knight, Nancy Malone and Edmond O'Brien

Darren McGavin is David Ross, a private investigator playing a game of follow the money. A simple case of embezzling turns bad quickly when bodies start dropping and the savvy P.I. is the primary suspect in an attractive woman's death. This NBC TV movie served as a pilot for the later series.
