- 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.
