Classic TV: Trial of a PFC (The Bold Ones, 1970)

 In some respects, this 2nd season episode of The Lawyers component of The Bold Ones, "Trial of a PFC", had a realistic, ripped from the headlines feel to it.

Pete Duel (ex-Love on a Rooftop) is the titular soldier, on trial for killing his best friend. Walter Brooke (ex-The Green Hornet) is the DA. Jared Martin makes one of his first appearances.

What I'm more interested in is the soundtrack, bookended by a pair of folk numbers by co-star Burl Ives.


Between Ives and Dave Grusin, who revamped the series' theme song, they could've had a killer soundtrack album if they wanted to.

Rating: A-.
