    Storyline

    Edit
    A pinnacle of the Golden Age of Television, "Studio One" presented a wide range of memorable dramas and received eighteen Emmy nominations and five wins during its prestigious nine-year run on CBS. Showcasing some of the greatest talents of the era, this groundbreaking series created an enormous impact, and still remains a treasured part of America's broadcasting history. Embracing the work of some of television's most iconic writers, directors, actors, and technical artists, the Studio One Anthology featured the complete 1954 original television production of "12 Angry Men" and is highlighted by early performances by Charlton Heston, Art Carney, Jack Lemmon, and Leslie Nielsen, as well as teleplays written by Rod Serling and Gore Vidal.

    • Trivia
      For many years, only the first half of the kinescope of the live 1954 television version of "12 Angry Men" (shown as an episode of this series, and upon which the movie version (12 Angry Men (1957)) was based) was thought to survive, and had been in the possession of the Museum of Television & Radio since 1976. In 2003, a complete 16mm kinescope was discovered in the collection of Samuel Liebowitz (former defense attorney and judge) and was also acquired by the museum.

    Corrections to previous review
    Having just seen "The Laughmaker" on a fascinating DVD, I feel compelled to correct some curious information in the previous review. First, the character that Gleason "plays" on his TV show is "The Poor Soul", not "Fenwick Babbitt". The two are similar, but the "soul" is a pantomime character. Second, and most bewildering in the review, Marian Seldes (who remains "stick thin" to this day) is in EVERY scene with Gleason. Except for one final scene towards the end, she doesn't appear WITHOUT him. Gleason, playing Gleason, is quite good; Carney can't help but be likewise. But it is Sally Gracie, as the girl singer who truly loves the Gleason character, who steals the show.
