Art Wallace's "The House"

Thank you for clearing up that question, Selby.

I'll check with the film archives here, but most likely the festival would have contacted them in their search over the years.

What about the Museum of Television and Radio?  Do they have any polcy about loaning out archival material?

I checked with my supervisor at the film archive where I work during the academic year.  Their collection of Goodyear Playhouse kinescopes unfortunately goes only through 1956.  She'll try to do more checking to see if she can find out where the other kinescopes may have ended up.

It would be wonderful to find it! Thanks Vlad!

I agree. I was next to devastated when it was announced that the actors would be performing it instead of them showing the actual TV play. I could swear that the first Fest/weekend flyer claimed that the original production would be shown.

Hopefully, one day...

Well, I remember that a collector had promised to bring his video copy of this program to the Festival for audience viewing at one of the Festivals, and the person failed to show up, which is why it was canceled.

The same thing has happened, I believe, with the video of the 1966 version of the Arthur Miller play about Salem witchcraft, The Crucible. It includes Thayer David and Clarice Blackburn in supporting roles.

Another good one I hope to see surface one of these days is Back to Back, an hour long drama shot on film in color for the 1965 season of the Bob Hope Chrysler Hour.  Grayson had a very juicy supporting role (playing opposite Shelley Winters and Jack Hawkins in the leads), but it's never shown up anywhere.
