Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 3/24/57

1) The first segment is a dramatization of the trial of Lizzie Borden with commentary by Joseph N. Welch. The re-creation of Lizzie Borden's sensational murder trial, taken from court records, is an intriguing puzzle included is testimony which might have sent the New England spinster to the gallows had the jury been permitted to hear it. 2) The second segment "The Fall River Legend" the agenda is Agnes De Mille's gripping ballet, "Fall River Legend," built around the symbolic aspects of the brutal Borden murders. With actors Richard Kiley, Katherine Bard and Robert Preston, and dancers Nora Kaye and Diana Adams on hand, this is an exciting, well integrated show.moreless
