I love Kinescopes! I have oh so many on dvd and a few on 16mm. Please, please my friend, do more of these. The dramas and comedies of the 1950s early 60s (many of which were live), was tv at its best. In a few years you had a Martian living in the suburbs. Then, a witch living in the suburbs. Next, a genie, and also a talking horse! We also had two families of monsters, and an idiot who joins the marines and stays in basic training for four years! We had the exploits of a boy and his dolphin, the exploits of a boy and his bear, a car which is the reincarnation of a man’s mother, six people stuck on an island, a man living in the suburbs who fights crime dressed as a bat, a man living in the suburbs who fights crime dressed as a hornet.... So please, find and restore more of those great programs of the past, like Playhouse 90, Suspense, Lights Out, and Tales of Tomorrow.
Love that this contains a "good" version of the legendary Westinghouse commercial with the electric-door refrigerator that went so spectacularly wrong on a different episode.
When I was a kid I thought that with every crime committed where a life was taken they would all be brainstorming trying to solve it. All of the shows show the truth. But the most shocking part of the show is when James turned down a cigarette. I almost feinted.must have been the method. Great print and it’s wonderful to see James and that lead actress.
M. M. Thanks! I try to clean up the sound as best as I can. Some are better than others. Unfortunately the state of the art allows me to do more with the motion restoration than I can with the audio. Glad to know people notice the clean-up on the audio too.
NBNTelevision I really like the audio restoration too! Sure it's hissy, but so many releases of old programs reduce the hiss by either cutting the treble or using noise reduction tools (or both) that all the high end frequencies are lost. It's easy to forget how high quality these recordings were for the time.
I've never seen James Dean acting before and Ms. Palmer was wonderful. Everyone's performances were terrific, thank you for presenting this for us to enjoy.
Ah, back in the good old days, when there were shows like this where the emphasis was on proving the wrongly accused were innocent...instead of now, where the big fear in society is that some guilty person might go free! Quite the shift.
Thanks so much for these...LOVE watching these old shows back when everything done was LIVE...Whatta Concept...lol...they should do it again, and yes they're doing it again now with Musicals, but they should do Dramas'...Far more appealing to a Wider Audience... Thanks Again!
Although videotape doesn't look as beautiful as film it does look extremely vivid and realistic. This could have been shot ten minutes ago. In no small part due to the restoration job of course.
I had in mind a comparison of either a Playhouse 90 or Studio One episode with Shatner playing the son of the defense counsel. That was a spectacular plot and wonderful acting. I have not even watched television in 20 plus years when I can enjoy gems like Studio One and Playhouse 90. I agree with most that even the commercials are entertaining (if not silly/simple by today's standards).
@@SoBe80s. This was included as it was an appearance by James Dean, also as an example of the off-season shows of Studio One. Remember, there was no such thing as reruns in the days of live television. The network had to air something.
@@nbntelevision1 I am most appreciative that this and all the Studio One videos are provided to us as a portal to the past! I find it fascinating to see so many young, now famous actors in this nascent media. Whereas I skip commercials entirely in contemporary television, like most who commented, even these early TV commercials were a joy to watch!
I never saw so many backward people in my life . I like how everybody keeps trying to insult that blonde woman but she keeps killing them with kindness and humor . Smart lady . 😊
The restoration and the story are both great!
I recognized Betsy Palmer right away! Great restoration by the way. Thank you.

James Dean ~ What a classic!
Great series so much better than modern tv

That was with the same person, June Graham. I admire how she kept it together.
Thank you for this vary much
I was 3 when this was presented.
I new I was gonna get old but I never k ew it would happen so quickly.
Thank you.
Good script and an excellent performance. Interesting from start to finish. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for preserving this piece of television history. Beautiful job.
wow, this is amazing!!! thank you so much

Wow! The sound quality just blew me away!!
I've never seen Betsy Palmer act before. She's brilliant here! I had only seen her on IGAS.

The same Gene Lyons who played Chief Ironside's boss and friend, Commissioner Dennis Randall, on NBC's IRONSIDE!
Amazing restoration. There is another copy on TH-cam missing a scene at the end and not restored. Many thanks!!
I love the old front loading machines. Why don't they make them in that style anymore?
Thank you very much, I'm not hard to please. I'm definitely grateful to be able to watch something like this🥲 the Restorations is fabulous.
This is really incredible to see it restored like this! Thank you for doing this!

Yeah, we don't need no stinkn' Constitution, do we?
Ever notice in every bar scene the bartender polishes the glass over and over like no one ever does in real life?
he was in the untouchables. a seat on the fence.

Great show! Criminals were so well dressed back then.
They still are well dressed look at Congress
A good ole fashion tv show. LOVE IT!!
Are you just doing Studio one or other 50s tv dramas also ? i am trying to find one w RALPH MEEKER

Studio One is typically quality. This one was absurd with over the top acting!
This was the Summer Theatre edition. Not the same regular producers and directors during the regular season.

Why wasn't his name in the credits?
Betsy Palmer......Jasons mom from Friday the 13th.
🍿🎬🍿🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎬🍿🎬🍿

If that DA touched Miss Morrison like he did here, he would be in deep doo-doo :(
65 YEARS AGO WHOA! WOW!
That’s nothing. Watch Turner Classic Movies and you’ll see lots of 65 year old films (some as old as 120)
.
I like line dried towels better
Not me. I like the way machine dried towels fluff and breathe.
This Story is boring. Probably not worth saving. I’d rather watch better stories on Perry Mason or Dragnet or Law & Order
.
This features the great award winning actress Betsy Palmer and of course the legendary James Dean, only 22 years old.
