A famous teleplay starring Ed Begley, Everett Sloane and Richard Kiley. Elizabeth Montgomery has a bit part. It aired live on January 12, 1955. The New York Times critic Jack Gould, hailed it as a breakthrough and suggested a second showing. On February 9, NBC again broadcast the play live with the same cast. This was the first time and perhaps the only time in history that a performance was repeated live on American television. This kine-scope is from the first broadcast because the second broadcast did not have commercials. Tom Shales article on Patterns www.tvweek.com/in-depth/2008/04/serlings-patterns-an-icon-of-l/
