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 RUclips 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 mail@goldsmithodyssey.com

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"

This is quality entertainment. Superlative acting and an intelligent and engaging story.
Fantastic, great little peek into the fashions and work places of 1958. Juicy story line, too. The acting was wonderful as well.
Good Film. What desperate situation! Convincingly acted. Thanks.
Produced *live* - and preserved on videotape.
Pretty good - well acted and good symbolism. Liked the candid plot that was not really fixated on morality. This was more akin to what we British used to call kitchen sink dramas. Good to know US tv was reflecting real life dilemmas and honesty.
Excellent show! Extremely fine cast!! Why isn't there anything on television like this?!! There's nothing today but mindless, horrible trash and I haven't watched TV for over 20 years!
What an incredibly sad movie 🎥. 💔💔💔🥺🥺🥺
Great to see there great actors in 1958. bel Geddes had recently come off of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"'. This was a spin on "Glass Menagerie".
That lead actress is just as natural on this live show then she is in the Hitchcock movies.
Another show from the Golden Age of Television !
Wonderful show! ❤
I think Lettie is the only one of the women who isn’t desperate. She seems perfectly content the way she is. 😅😅😅😊😊😊
Really deep this one. For those that understand.
Greetings from Florida 🐬
Thank You 🙏
Thank you!
Why do men feel they can just grab you and kiss you and you don't even know them . She hadn't seen him since high school there was no relationship! I'm glad she slapped him!
😮😮😮Omgsh!! What a surprise!!! Can’t wait to see how it ends!
I just discover your awesome channel..tnx for ur great uploads..keep going
Marge Redmon always looked much younger without the habit.
Your channel content is impressive 🐈
A younger Miss Bel Geddes without the weather beaten face . A younger Marge Redmond before she became a nun and commercial spokesman Sarah Tucker . Veteran Aline Mac Mahon 20 years after her heyday at Warner's is made up to look older than her 58 years while Miss Bel Geddes is portraying a much younger woman than her 35 years .
They say love is blind, well she certainly was.
Good movie
oops sorry I watched the end again and I guess I was just hoping for more :-)
Agree with the grab kiss not right
what happened to the end of "The Desperate Age"?
(Excuse the misspelling.)
Oh,. Letty is a sly one..
studio one's actors and actress were the real mccoy ,
dont you think so
