The Complete File

With the film "adaptation" of the 1980's series The Equalizer released in September 2014 (starring Denzel Washington), I've had fun revisiting the series I remember fondly from my teens and learning more about the other work of its star, Edward Woodward.

A collection of some great videos online about The Equalizer and Woodward.

 

 

Unfortunately, episodes of the CBS series Over My Dead Body which Woodward starred in shortly after The Equalizer, have been removed from YouTube by Fabulous Films. One would hope this means they intend to release the show on DVD, but they make no mention of it on their website (yet).


The 1997 film The House of Angelo was a Woodward family project and features Edward Woodward as well as his sons Peter Woodward (who wrote the script) and Tim Woodward and his daughter Sarah Woodward. Callan alum Anthony Valentine also appears.
