Rich Man Poor Man Tom Vs Falconetti

After hiding away on a ship to avoid his problems with the mafia, Tom Jordache tries to keep a low profile onboard a merchant navy vessel, not wanting anyone to know he is a professional boxer on the run.

But when the ships bully, Falconetti continuously antagonises Tom and his black friend Roy Dwyer, Tom's patience is tested.

When Falconetti inflicts a sick and disgusting attack on Roy, Tom finally snaps, and challenges Falconetti to a one on one fist fight in cargo hold 1.

the reason you still hate Falconetti ts because William Smith was such a good actor...he sold you on the evil of the character he created..harder to fe the villian than the hero

[chriskehoe007]

this was one of my favorite tv mini series of the 70,s nick nolte was excellent and FALCONETTI WAS A GREAT VILLIAN

@plymouthgtx1973 I met him 10 yrs ago--the nicest, most gracious person you'd ever meet. in real life Smith was a Korean war hero, worked for the CIA and taught Russian language at UCLA. Among the other things he told me was that James Garner was the nicest actor he ever worked with.

William Smith in my opinion is a great actor but little explored in film, as he deserved. Opposite Yull Brinn, Rod Taylor and others, always as a villain, he did very well. The paper is assigned to him which were very weak, yet he showed greatness and enriched them with his performance. The cinema of the '70s nostalgia leaves with the existence of "Hercules"

William smith na minha opiniao é um grande ator mas pouco explorado pelo cinema, como ele merecia. Contracenou com Yull Brinner, Rod Taylor e outros, sempre como vilão, que ele fazia muito bem. Os papeis que lhe designaram é que foram muito fracos, mesmo assim ele demonstrava grandeza e enriquecia-os com sua performance. O cinema da decada de 70 deixa saudades com a existencia deste " Hercules"

William Smith was the premier bad guy in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. He was always stalking and menacing the heroes - Eastwood, Nolte, Garner, Busey, etc. One of my favorite actors too.

@chriskehoe007 a great fag also obviously.

According to the IMDb, the Tom Jordache character may have been written into the second part of the series. They should have included an "alternate" ending for season one on the DVD releases.

agree that in rel life will smith would kick Nolte's ass, but in "reel" life Tom was a trained boxer, which means no matter how big and tough Falconetti was he stood little chance.. A decent boxer like Tom would have carved him to pieces with some space. That said the fight scene was emotionally satisfying but poorly staged and edited. Also a bit unrelistic in that Tom would never, ever turn his back on a guy like that...and he did it twice!

Dude--register the program if you're going to post it on U-tube, dammit.

@ted850760 I remember WS being interviewed on one of our English Chat Shows about 25 years or so ago. And he said that he couldn`t walk down Main Street America without having bottles thrown at him, because of what he did to Tom Jordashe.
