Episode Summary

EDIT
A Child Is Born
AIRED:
Bernard Herrmann composed the music for this telling of the nativity story, adapted from Steven Vincent Benet's blank-verse play. Dialogue and music mix what vocal accompaniment from the Roger Wagner Chorale. The story of Christ's birth is told through the eyes of the Innkeeper and his barren wife. She feels that "something strange" will be happening very soon.moreless

      • Editor's Note: It is not completely clear if this episode was re-staged or simply rerun by CBS on 12/23/1956. It was staged live for the 1955 airing and Victor Jory's name is often mentioned in newspaper listings as being a star. However, 1956 listings list the name Robert Middleton instead. (Both list Nadine Conner.) In the book A Heart at Fire's Center by Steven C. Smith, while discussing Bernard Herrmann composing the music in 1955, Victor Jory is never mentioned but Robert Middleton is.
