[Non-Sequitur]

Back in the early 50's there was a Playhouse 90-type of show where the acting was broadcast live. Very few of the performances were filmed but one that was was the first performance of Paddy Chayefsky's teleplay of "Marty". Rod Steiger played Marty, the butcher, the self-proclaimed "short ugly little man" and Nancy Marchand played the plain-Jane girl he hooked up with. Somehow PBS got a copy and ran it about 20 years ago. It was without a doubt the finest hour of television drama I have ever seen and completely blew the doors off of the movie version that Ernest Borgnine won his Oscar for.
