Hilton Chicago

If you look closely at the first scenes with Krabbe, the beard is slightly off.

The hotel climax that Richard Jordan never filmed because the long bruising fight between Ford and Krabbe across the Chicago Hilton, he never filmed it because Jordan died on August 30th, having seen a nearly finished print of Gettysburg at Maxwell's home in Los Angeles 24 days after The Fugitive opened, three weeks after Tommy Lee Jones won the Oscar that some people later assumed Jordan had been chasing.

Maxwell dedicated Gettysburg to both Jordan and Shara, and the coincidences pile up in a way that feels novelistic.

The actor who once played the National Security Advisor authorizing a desperate hunt for a missing submarine spent his last working months playing a general leading a doomed charge and a doctor whose crime would send another man running.
