1958-03-10 - Studio One: ''A Dead Ringer''

https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.c... We review this show and its super-early score by the great Jerry Goldsmith at the above link. If you enjoyed this video, consider giving our podcast “The Goldsmith Odyssey” a listen. Hosted by David, Yavar, and Clark, our central focus is the work of legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith, who scored nearly everything you’ll find listed on our YouTube page. Goldsmith spent the early days of his career scoring a wide variety of television shows (GE Theatre, Playhouse 90, The Twilight Zone, Gunsmoke, Thriller, etc.) before going on to write such iconic film scores as Planet of the Apes, Patton, Chinatown, The Omen, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, and many more. However, in addition to talking about the music, we also spend some time discussing the work the music was written for. So if you found this rare slice of vintage TV interesting and would like to hear some further conversation on it, give the show a listen and let us know what you think. Additionally, many Goldsmith-scored episodes have proven difficult to find. While some may indeed be lost to the ages, we’ve been fortunate enough to uncover quite a few of them, and we’d greatly appreciate any help with digging up the rest. Listed at the bottom of this description are a number of missing items we’re currently searching for. If you have any information on how we might be able to track these down, please leave us a comment or send us an email at [email protected] _________________________________________________ Studio One started on CBS radio in 1947 as a program of hour long dramas, often adaptations of well known books, and it got a Peabody Award in its very first year. In 1948, the show was moved to television, sponsored by The Westinghouse Electric Corporation, where it ran for 10 years, and was consistently Emmy nominated for its last 8. It's got quite a pedigree. Episode directors included John Frankenheimer, Buzz Kulik, Sidney Lumet, Robert Mulligan, Arthur Penn and Franklin Schaffner. Writers included Horton Foote, Arthur Hailey, Ben Hecht, Abby Mann, Rod Serling, Gore Vidal and Reginald Rose, whose 12 Angry Men was first written and produced as an episode of Studio One. He also wrote a 2 part episode called The Defender, with Ralph Bellamy and William Shatner as a father & son legal team, which was turned into a series he oversaw a few years later, The Defenders with E.G. Marshall and Robert Reed as the father and son. Its 132 episodes spanned four years, during which it won multiple, major Emmy's each year. Jerry Goldsmith scored a few of these after it moved from New York to L.A. for its final half year. We can confirm nine that he scored: "Presence of the Enemy" "The Fair-Haired Boy" "A Dead Ringer" "Tongues of Angels" "The Shadow of a Genius" "The Desperate Age" "The Edge of Truth" "The Man Who Asked for a Funeral" "The Lady Died at Midnight" _________________________________________________ We're looking for: 1/26/1956 Climax! - The Secret of River Lane 3/29/1956 Climax! - An Episode of Sparrows 4/26/1956 Climax! - Sit Down with Death 9/20/1956 Climax! - The Garsten Case 6/27/1957 Climax! - The Trial of Captain Wirtz 12/26/1957 Climax! - Shadow of a Memory 1/16/1958 Climax! - Thieves over Tokyo 2/10/1958 Studio One - Presence of the Enemy 3/3/1958 Studio One - The Fair-Haired Boy 10/16/1958 Playhouse 90 - The Long March 2/5/1959 Playhouse 90 - Child of Our Time 5/5/1959 Playhouse 90 - Made in Japan 5/28/1959 Playhouse 90 - The Rank and File 9/30/1959 The Lineup - Wake Up to Terror 10/4/1959 General Electric Theater - Hitler's Secret 10/29/1959 Playhouse 90 - Misalliance 11/18/1959 The Lineup - Lonesome as Midnight 11/22/1959 General Electric Theater - The Last Dance 11/25/1959 The Lineup - The Strange Return of Army Armitage 12/10/1959 Playhouse 90 - The Tunnel 12/10/1959 Playhouse 90 - The Tunnel 1/3/1960 General Electric Theater - Sarah's Laughter 1/17/1960 General Electric Theater - The Committeeman 1/21/1960 Playhouse 90 - A Dream of Treason 2/9/1960 Playhouse 90 - To the Sound of Trumpets 2/24/1960 Playhouse 90 - The Cruel Day 2/4/1962 GGeneral Electric Theater - Shadow of a Hero 3/6/1962 Alcoa Premiere - Of This Time, of This Place 4/15/1962 General Electric Theater "The Bar Mitzvah of Major Orlovsky" 4/15/62 4/29/1962 General Electric Theater - Mister Doc 1962-09 The Expendables (TV Movie) 6/19/1963 Kraft Mystery Theater - Shadow of a Man 9/18/1963 Ben Casey - Justice to a Microbe 1/6/1964 Breaking Point - A Little Anger Is a Good Thing 12/13/1965 The Legend of Jesse James - The Man Who Was 10/15/1968 CBS Playhouse - The People Next Door 1968 Nick Quarry 2/20/1975 Archer - Pilot “Shades of Blue” (aired as third or fourth episode) 1983 Dusty (1983 obscure TV pilot, perhaps a faulty IMDb credit?)
