The Criterion Collection- The Golden Age of Television Disc 1

THE GOLDEN AGE OF TELEVISION Criterion Collection # 495 DVD Release Date: November 24, 2009 http://www.criterion.com/films/3560 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002M36R1O/ http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews48/golden_age_of_television.htm http://www.dvdtown.com/review/golden-age-of-television-the-the-criterion-collection/dvd/7564 http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/goldenagetelevision.php Description: The hugely popular live American television plays of the 1950s have become the stuff of legend. Combining elements of theater, radio, and filmmaking, they were produced at a moment when TV technology was growing more mobile and art was being made accessible to a newly suburban postwar demographic. These astonishingly choreographed, brilliantly acted, and socially progressive 'teleplays' constituted an artistic high for the medium, bringing Broadway-quality drama to all of America. The award-winning programs included in this box set -- originally curated for PBS in the early 1980s as the series The Golden Age of Television, featuring recollections from key cast and crew members -- were conceived by such up-and-comers as Rod Serling and John Frankenheimer and star the likes of Paul Newman, Mickey Rooney, Rod Steiger, Julie Harris, and Piper Laurie. READ: The Golden Age of Television, Act III by Ron Simon For twenty years, the remains of televisionÂ’s self-proclaimed golden age lay dormant in the vaults of the commercial networks. http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/1310 ================ DISC ONE ================ # "MARTY" (52 min.)
