TV Reunion Movie
Burr and the main cast reunited for a made-for-TV movie in 1993 which aired not long before Burr's death. Burr was starring in a series of Perry Mason TV movies at the time. In order to make himself look less like the other character, he dyed his hair and modified his full beard to a goatee for the Ironside movie. Unlike the original series, which took place in San Francisco, California, the reunion took place in Denver, Colorado (with the excuse that Ed Brown had become the city's deputy chief of police and being a leading candidate to be appointed chief), which was also where most of the Perry Mason TV movies were produced. Galloway, Mitchell, Anderson and Baur re-created their roles for the movie even though Anderson and Baur had not worked on the original series at the same time.

Famous quotes containing the word movie:
“I discovered early in my movie work that a movie is never any better than the stupidest man connected with it. There are times when this distinction may be given to the writer or director. Most often it belongs to the producer.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
