If you’re an Elmore Leonard fan, you’ll love the FX series, Justified. It’s the most “Leonard” production ever. Outside, perhaps, of Get Shorty. Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins are magnificent.
Oh I just realized what this is: the TV series based on one of Elmore’s characters, the marshal, Raylan Givens, who says to his prisoner in the marshal’s car who is giving him a hard time:
“I’m not your problem.”
Classic.
I never wanted to watch this show, so afraid it would ruin the character for me, as happens so much. A close friend of mine was a devoted watcher.
There’s another great character who broke out of prison, and is so different from other men that everyone automatically looks at him when he walks into a club. Can’t think of his name right now. They made a movie out of that one too. Never, ever want to watch it.
