I am 26... watching these old movies and tv shows ignites memories I do not have because I didn't live during this era. But I can feel the essence almost as if I did.
I've never read it put that way...and it's perfect. Absolutely. Forever I've had this sort of feeling when watching old movies, television shows or when hearing old songs that came out before I was born. It's almost a sensation of deja vu that I could never quite put into words, but you just did it for me.
WoW! I just came about this post after reading about Tuesday Weld. I own and Love Kim Novaks version. I never knew this existed! 1963 and Kim's Version 1968. Kim Novak I hv loved -love since a kid.. Tuesday Weld I always liked her and is outstanding as Lylah!. Thank You for Posting this. I'm so enjoying it!!! . Commercials too!😂 ✌💗
Kim Novak did a really good motion picture The Legend Of Lylah Clare based on this teleplay. ...This production starring Tuesday Weld is also very good.
“ in this business in five years you’re an old lady unless you’re a star, a big star”! How true, Joan Crawford was still playing younger parts from her 40’s on up.
So glad you posted this hard-to-find episode. While she was great in feature films, TV really gave Tuesday a chance to shine. She really could pass for a 1930s movie star. Alfred Drake looks kind of devilish, was that intentional?
I recall reading in an interview with Tuesday, that she remarked she actually preferred acting for television. Why? Exactly for the reason you said: she felt television gave her more opportunities to play a broader range of roles. I was pleasantly surprised to read that because most actors seem to look down on television as less prestigious than movies, yet here was a bona fide movie actress who actively sought out television roles. I think that speaks to how genuine a person she was. She was more interested in the role than fame or false prestige.
@@5points185 She did television at the same time she was becoming established in movies, and then returned to television when she was in a later part of her career. She also played a Bonnie Parker type character in a TV play long before Bonnie and Clyde. She was Warren Beatty's first choice to play Bonnie Parker.
Oh yeah. This one is WAY better. The remake was just too weird. This version gets into the characters more. The music in this version is better too-- jazzy and film noir-ish. The music in the remake was incredibly schmaltzy and cheesy.
I don't recall if I saw the 1968 version and I haven't seen this yet, but it's ironic that Novak got the part, maybe because the plot seems to parallel Hitchcock's *Vertigo* somewhat
I just finished reading up on the film version of this and actually, it seems Kim's part in Vertigo played no part in her getting the role. Originally, director Robert Aldrich had Jeanne Moreau in mind for the role of Lylah; I've also read that he considered Diana Dors for the part before casting Kim Novak. Aldrich also remarked on seeing this teleplay with Tuesday, which he felt Weld did "marvelously", and making a conscious decision to try to avoid doing a repeat of this.
@@5points185 Considering that the film was a flop maybe the director should have not tried to avoid repeating this version. Hitchcock originally wanted Grace Kelly for Vertigo, but of course, she married Prince Rainier and left Hollywood. Robert Aldrich earlier directed the creepy Whatever Happened to Baby Jane starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
That wig. She didn't need it - Tuesday had wild blonde hair. The plot was a little difficult to discern. Was he impotent? Homosexual? Well, anyway, anything with Tuesday in it.
@@BeautifulBombs Thanks - I must have dozed off for a little while the first time through. Thanks for posting this - I’ve tried to find it for years, Alfred Drake being my idol.
Half as long as the '68 film with Kim Novak, so I guess it's twice as good? Weld's wonderful, but it's not that interesting a story. Maybe if the "possession" angle was played up more.

This was made about a year after Monroe died and it shows... fascinating. And Tuesday Weld, once again, proves what a talented actress she was.
Thanks for sharing this! I love Tuesday Weld and this was one of her performances I had never seen.

Tuesday Weld did such an excellent job, I kept forgetting that she was Tuesday Weld!
Thank you for posting this. I'm a big fan of Tuesday Weld.
powerful performance
Thank you very much for posting this
Wow looked for this forever thanks for posting this!!
Kim Novak did a really good motion picture The Legend Of Lylah Clare based on this teleplay. ...This production starring Tuesday Weld is also very good.
I like Kim Novak, of course in *Vertigo* , and also the remake of *Of human bondage* with Lawrence Harvey.
I remember seeing the trailer for the movie. I was not aware Novak had the part. I would have guessed Carol Baker [who did play Harlow in 1965].
“ in this business in five years you’re an old lady unless you’re a star, a big star”! How true, Joan Crawford was still playing younger parts from her 40’s on up.
And she always looked her age!
She said as soon pretty! Just as beautiful as Marilyn ❤️🤩

The shirt ads are almost as much fun as the picture
Merci ! Dupont™ 🤣. For the archives.
Thank you Tuesday XOXOXO
Better than the 1968 Kim Novak dud -

Real Big Sigh. I was wrapping up 1st grade, about 3 weeks left in the school year.

What happened to the bathtub scene? It’s a separate clip on TH-cam, but it’s missing here.
It’s not missing. It starts at 33:54

You could always do another remake!
@@BeautifulBombs But where would you get a Tuesday Weld or Kim Novak?
