Notes:
This was based on a Wyllis Cooper TV production in 1949 which included Frankie Thomas. Ed Byron was a big fan of Cooper's work, and was looking for some unproduced Cooper work to include in T5. This was as close as they got. Byron died of cancer the day after this network broadcast. His leadership was critical to getting T5 on the air.
