"The Man Who Had Nothing To Lose" is an early television episode (filmed) as part of The Bigelow Theatre series this episode aired in December of 1950. Most of these early television film programs have been lost or simply abandoned by their distributors, and some literally destroyed for their silver content. Since 16mm film collecting started with publications such as "The Big Reel" and later in the mid 1990's with eBay, prints of this episode have turned up. I bought an original 16mm print from year of release many years ago on line for almost the cost of shipping. It's a beautiful print. The story is much like the film made a few years later with Bogart "The Desperate Hours" 1955. Neville Brand was an fine actor, and a very convincing villain. "The Man Who Had Nothing To Lose" is truly his first starring roll, previously his seven screen rolls he is not even credited. This film may have been photographed with the Jerry Fairbanks Multi-camera process and may have been shot in 16mm negative and not 35mm. My 16mm print is made from the camera negative and this may mean nothing to the average reader but the print is A-Wind. It's a shame that film producers and distributors didn't have the foresight to see the future when television today in 2021 has 5000 channels and You Tube plays everything. This program is over 70 years old! It's amazing to think that television as we know it will soon be 80 years old! Early TV has been treated like silent movies from the 1920's, they were simply tossed! That's a shame! Well Happy New Years! Sure hope Biden and The Cop can fix this Covid-19 thing, but I doubt it - don't hold your breath - especially with these darn old masks on! Now where did I put that second Covid-19 vaccine dose, oh yea it's 90 degrees below zero burr!
