Overview

This is a reference book about the British TV series The Four Just Men, which ran for 39 episodes during 1959 and 1960. The book includes complete cast lists, episode titles, numerous photographs, story synopses, directorial credits, and original air dates. The series was filmed in black and white. It was made for ITC. The series starred Jack Hawkins, Richard Conte, Dan Dailey and Vittorio De Sica. Hawkins played Ben Manfred, a crusading independent M.P. based in London; Conte was Columbia law professor Jeff Ryder. Daily played American correspondent Tim Collier, based in Paris, and De Sica was Italian hotelier Ricco Poccari. At the time, The Four Just Men was the most ambitious film series yet made for British TV. It was produced by Sapphire Films at Walton Studios and on location in Britain, France, and Italy. The four characters had met during World War II. After the war, the four men met again, and decided to fight injustice and against tyranny wherever they find it, using money donated for this purpose by their late commanding officer. The series was based on several novels by Edgar Wallace which detailed the adventures of the four men. Only all four of them appear together in the initial episode. After that, one was the star of each episode-although one or two of the others always made a brief appearance-usually by telephone.
