★★★ · Nice to see these actors in this show. · rubytu · 2013-01-10
While not the most compelling of dramas, it is a nice short story sort of tale. Young Natalie Wood, James Dean, Eddie Albert! I had seen Natalie Wood in a few movies, and Eddie Albert in Green Acres, but James Dean was elusive, and I had thought he only played in movies, a myth of living and dying young, leaving a good-looking corpse. As I go through the listings of these old tv shows, I see that he did quite a bit of television. He was not just a myth, but an actor.
