Snippets of this 50 year old television drama were used in the 2007 television program "Boston Legal" (episode: Son of the Defender) where the now older Shatner recalled back to instances where he and his father (played by Ralph Bellamy) were in discussion of a man's innocence, played by the then unknown Steve McQueen. It melded well into the Boston Legal episode.
This episode would evolve into the series The Defenders (1961) which starred Robert Reed and E.G. Marshall in the roles played by William Shatner and Ralph Bellamy.
Ian Wolfe, who plays the judge here, later appeared with William Shatner in the Star Trek episodes "All Our Yesterdays" and "Bread and Circuses."
