"Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse"
"Thunder In The Night"
-- Episode 2.12 (Feb. 19, 1960)
Rod Taylor was a "special guest star" in this installment of
"Desilu Playhouse," an hour-long anthology series produced by
Desi Arnaz and broadcast on CBS from 1958 to 1960. "Thunder in the
Night" was one of only two plays that Arnaz himself appeared in during
the season.
Taylor played Bob Carter, an investigator in a place where passports
are a commodity -- bought, sold, stolen and counterfeited. But the crime
has escalated, and a man has been killed for his passport. Carter turns
to his friend, Chris Hunter (Desi Arnaz) for help and to tap his knowledge
of the shadier characters around.
The episode is stylish and ambitious,
but Rod's role is rather ordinary -- and all too brief. |
