The cast of characters makes this episode almost feel like a genuine fairy-tale. There's the cherubic, orphaned little blond girl with a handicapped leg, the ill-tempered aunt who's looking after her, and the friendly old man in the park who befriends her and seems to know magic. Normally, this kind of soft and sentimental fantasy guff isn't what I prefer to see in "The Twilight Zone", but "The Fugitive" is simply too beautiful and too compelling to resist. It's a wonderfully heart-warming tale with splendid performances and two very inventive surprise-twists at the end. Also, and as pointed out by other reviewers already, it's almost a relief nowadays to watch a story in which an elderly and kind person hangs around the park and plays with children, without him having malignant intentions or others suspecting that he has.
