The Four Just Men
The Four Just Men was a 1959 Sapphire
Films production.
Plot
The series, loosely based on a series of novels by Edgar Wallace,
presents the
adventures of four men who first meet while fighting in Italy during
the Second
World War. The men later reassemble, and decide to fight for justice
and against
tyranny, using money set aside for the purpose by their late
commanding officer.
They operate from different countries: Jeff Ryder is a professor of
law at Columbia
University in New York, Tim Collier is an American reporter based in
Paris,
Ben Manfred is a crusading independent MP who works from London and
Ricco Poccari is an Italian hotelier based in Rome. Their reputation
as the
"Four Just Men" is well-known.
The series is unusual in having the four lead actors appear in turn
other than
in the first episode; one or occasionally two makes a brief
appearance in each
other's episode, usually on the phone.
