The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is less with more suggested by hobbs001 who also suggested The Fugitive.

Trivia: According to producer Roy Huggins, Gerard’s line in response to Richard Kimble’s claim of innocence (“I didn’t kill my wife”) was originally read in the script as, “That isn’t my problem.” But at the request of Tommy Lee Jones, it was changed to, “I don’t care.”

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary from hobbs001: “Defining a movie’s most interesting character and providing the engine for the entire rest of the movie in two lines of dialogue? That’ll be The Fugitive.
