Dan Haggerty Movies
Husky and hirsute actor Dan Haggerty is best remembered for playing the title character in the popular television outdoor adventure series The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams. Having appeared in the 1974 feature-film version of the show and in a similar feature titled Frontier Fremont (1975), Haggerty seemed a natural for the role. But it was really his unusual rapport -- Haggerty had once been an animal trainer -- with bears, such as his huge co-star Ben, that really got him the part. Following the series' demise, Haggerty went on to appear in many made-for-television movies and in low-budget features. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide- 1954
Ross Hunter hadn't yet completely graduated to glossy, star-studded soap operas when he produced the taut crime meller Naked Alibi. Chief of detectives Joseph E. Conroy (Sterling Hayden) is busted after failing to prove that "solid citizen" Al Willis (Gene Barry) is a maniacal cop-killer. Despite his lack of authority, Conroy puts so much heat on Willis that the latter skips town with his floozy lady friend Marianna (Gloria Grahame). Conroy follows the two fugitives to a wide-open border town, then slowly and methodically maps out the villain's doom. Essentially a cat-and-mouse game for most of its running time, Naked Alibi slowly but surely builds up to a nailbiting rooftop-chase climax. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
