A suspenseful episode in the series Four Star Playhouse. Is George Macready a real-estate agent, or is he an escaped madman? Don't bother downloading the h.264 file or the Ogg Video file; the Cinepack file from which they are derived is smaller.

An episode of the popular 1950s half-hour anthology series. In this episode, Charles Boyer plays a man who returns to France to meet his 12-year-old daughter, who he has not seen in 5 years. TV schedules suggest this was shown on 1 December 1955, though the user-edited IMDb suggests a different episode aired that date. This episode contains some brief exterior scenes shot in France, which are the most interesting aspect of the show.

Interesting episode of the popular 1950s half-hour anthology series. This episode stars David Niven, and is set during WW2. It is about the planned execution of a soldier. Originally telecast 6 October 1955 on CBS. Based on the running time, I have the suspicion this episode is incomplete. Directed by Robert Florey.
