★★★ · unsold tv pilot · calvinsx · 2017-05-28
heartwarming christmas story of louis jordan as a antique dealer. I'll skip plot details to not spoil this story. margaret hamilton as the sympathetic cleaning woman for jordan. jimmy little (of sgt bilko and car 54) in a small part as an apartment building caretaker. unusual to see a color tv episode of the early 50's. the episodes closes with a teaser of upcoming episodes which are all to be in color. another unusual feature is the use of puppets to start, end and elsewise punctuate the story.
