An adaption of the film for The 20th Century Fox Hour done for one hour. It's of interest mostly to see other people in the roles - George Sanders as Lydecker, Robert Stack as Mark, Dana Wynter as Laura, someone called Scott Forbes as Shelby. The Judith Anderson part is hardly in it - and there's not much Laura this is mostly Lydecker and Mark.
The replacements aren't bad - Stack is a similar solid type to Dana Andrews, Sanders is always good as a villain (though I preferred Clifton Webb's waspishness). Wynter is pretty but not quite as enigmatic as Gene Tierney.
It's not bad - professional, solid. Depth is inevitably lost via condensation - there's no romance between Laura and the detective for instance. John Brahm directed.
