I watched this relatively unknown 1964 made for television pilot show last night for the first time.I can see why it did not become a series.I do not know where the original pilot script would have gone in order to be a television series.I think that this could have been a good series if they had used the talent of actresses like Joan Crawford and actors with the caliber of Charles Bickford and each week would have been a different story entirely.That said,I thoroughly enjoyed the show.The storyline was fairly good,a bit far fetched,but interesting.The best part of this movie is the settings and the wonderful cast.Joan Crawford,Charles Bickford,Diane Baker,and Paul Burke are excellent actors from an earlier time.This is a lovely little gem from the early era of excellent television.I have this show.
