Smile Jenny, You're Dead

Harry Orwell has been retired from the force ever since he caught a bullet that lodged inoperably in his back. But that doesn’t mean the man called Harry O is out of the action. Moonlighting as a private sleuth, fighting off daily back pain and typically traveling by public bus instead of his own car (“It gives a man a chance to think”), he’s on the trail of the lowlife who murdered his pal’s son-in-law. It won’t be the only time the killer strikes before Harry closes in. David Janssen (The Fugitive) portrays dogged detective Harry in the telefilm that was the second of two pilots preceding his memorable Harry O series. Among the highlights: young Jodie Foster as Liberty, the wise-beyond-her-years homeless waif Harry befriends. Smile Jenny, You're Dead featuring David Janssen and Andrea Marcovicci is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want to see list for updates. It's an action & adventure and drama movie with a better than average IMDb audience rating of 6.8 (311 votes).
