In the same year that Maxwell Anderson wrote 'High Tor' for 'The Philco Television Playhouse' on September 10th 1950, he wrote a couple of episodes for this series simply because he was a pulitzer prize winner. The question to ask is does his plays have a natural home on the silver screen?
Is this available anywhere? Richard Kiley made his debut playing idealistic young assistant DA Abner Coates in a dramatization of James Gould Cozzens; The Just And The Unjust. (Which was dramatized, in part, because its author, James Gould Cozzens, had just won the for his Pulitzer winning masterpiece, Guard Of Honor, which was too big to be shown on TV. At the time.)
