Sam Benedict - Sam Benedict - DVD

Edmond OBrien stars as defense attorney Sam Benedict in this riveting legal drama based on the true-life experiences of renowned San Francisco trial lawyer Jacob W. Ehrlich (who served as the series legal consultant). Richard Rust and Joan Tompkins costar as legal associate Hank Tabor and office manager Trudy Wagner who, in tandem with Sams keen legal mind, create a refuge from the ungentle mercies of the justice system. With Sams cases running to the cutting edge and Hanks cases often showcasing the lighter side of the law, Sam Benedict serves up a full legal suite of clients and causes from socialite slayers, messianic millionaires, and killer cops to put-upon pianists, fur coat scofflaws (and dogs!), and false faith healers. Notable clients found in the courts of Sam Benedict include Claude Rains, Gloria Grahame, Burgess Meredith, Geraldine Brooks, Kurt Russell, Katherine Ross, Howard Duff and Ida Lupino.
