Such Dust as Dreams Are Made On(1973)

Such Dust as Dreams Are Made On is a crime drama pilot starring David Janssen as Harry Orwell, a retired Los Angeles detective living with chronic pain from a bullet lodged near his spine. Years after a robbery left him wounded and his partner dead, Harry works sporadically as a private investigator. One night, a man from his past—one of the shooters—arrives at his door asking for help locating his accomplice, claiming the other man wants him dead. Harry must decide whether to trust this stranger or walk into a trap. This 1973 pilot launched the ABC series *Harry O*, which ran from 1974 to 1976 and became a fixture of American television detective shows.
