A search on duckduck and subsequently to YouTube I rediscovered Playhouse 90. I’m going to have to check some of these out.

A while ago I purchased a DVD of Failsafe which was done in the playhouse 90s style. I remember 5 of our teenaged nieces and nephews were over one rainy weekend and they were on a movie fest so I whipped that one out and was amazed... their attention was completely focused the entire time to that production.

I also blew their mind with Vanishing Point... they absolutely did not expect that ending.

Yes,in the 1950s and into the 1960s you'd see various performances of that type on network TV and,IIRC,at least occasionally they'd be live. Along with “Days” was another such performance that I love called “A Wind From The South”.It,too,is on DVD and I'll bet that it's on youtube as well.
