Duet for Eight Wheels (aka Ordeal)

Paraplegic (Inger Stevens) tries to help Jim Redigo accept his fate when he is paralyzed by a fall and faces a wheelchair existence. Richard Egan does a particularly fine job with Jim Redigo here. He makes you believe in the paralysis he suffers from a stomping bout with a wild horse, and convinces you he'll fight his incapacity to the limit of his will. The script itself is tightly written and credible, except for a bit of romantic soap opera at the close, but Inger Stevens gives him superb support in the role of a beautiful, if disciplined paraplegic.

Red Eye

After attending a medical conference in Beijing and coming frighteningly close to dying in a car crash, Dr. Matthew Nolan arrives home and is immediately arrested at London's Heathrow Airport. Exhausted and confused, Nolan is accused of the murder of a woman who was in the car he crashed. Despite his protests that he was driving alone, Nolan is set to return to China to face charges. 

DC Hana Li is the no-nonsense London officer charged with accompanying Nolan back to Beijing. Her resentment for this assignment, and of Nolan himself, is immediate. However, in flight, when a first death occurs, DC Li begins to suspect foul play. Further deaths confirm that Nolan is in danger, and after a call from MI5, Hana finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy.
