And I actually have a copy of the 3-page synopsis of the 172-page screenplay.Joe M.

The show "Dragnet" was on TV in those days (I saw some in a "Dragnet" marathon once, and I remember it being rather grim and suspenseful, moreso than later versions) so I would imagine that in a half-hour format, a Houdini show might follow suit. Maybe it would've had an "escape of the week" format. OneTom and Johanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01133250855806942658noreply@blogger.com
