Some of his lesser known tv works worth hunting down include, “Stage 7” episode, DEBT OF HONOR from 1955. This one stars O'Brien and Charles Bronson and is from a Cornell Woolrich novel, I.O.U. One Life. Another excellent bit of tv is DEATH WATCH from 1958, it is an episode of the Hitchcock produced, “Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-49974757022204159322017-05-31T17:05:31.150-04:002017-05-31T17:05:31.150-04:00Holy cow!

For a slightly diff take on this film, look up an episode of LUX VIDEO THEATER from 1957 with the same name. This one is a hour long re-do with Edmond O’Brien in the Bogart role and Beverly Garland filling in for Bacall.

The director Howard Hawks, despite being married, wanted Miss Bacall for himself so he was mad at her for falling in love with Bogie. When Bacall married Bogie Hawks sold her contract.
