The extra ones this time include an avalanche, a vile dictator and a tricky game of endurance card-playing.</div> <bR> <div> In comparison to the pilot, Ben Gazzara acts natural in his role, and comes across with more depth - even strength at times -  with the character exhibiting a personal sense of commitment in his crusade to destroy the dictator-in-waiting.</div> <bR> <div> A quite adequate episode of Run For Your Life, but not yet up to its later higher standard of drama. There were a lot of very talented actors virtually performing the job of extras / set decoration, and it's a shame their parts were not more developed.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV>
