[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 92644, member: 12"] Yes. They give away the cliff bit from near the end! Some of those US titles have "menacing figures" lurking about on them, that have nothing to do with the story. Espionage had both British and American writers working on it. Michael Powell directed three of them. Martin Balsam, Fritz Weaver, Dana Elcar and Joseph Campanella appeared in it. So you could get Steven Hill with Ingrid Thulin and Michael Gwynn one week. Or John Gregson, Dennis Hopper and Patricia Neal in one episode. [ATTACH=full]7522[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]aLz3LI7-AGw[/MEDIA] I remembered on waking that Court Martial started as a Kraft colour presentation called Sergeant Ryker in the USA, starring Lee Marvin, Bradford Dillman, Hal Holbrook and Peter Graves, and it was set during the Korean War. It was a Roncom-ITC co-production for Universal, shot at Pinewood Studios in the UK and on location where it was now set in World War 2 and in black-and-white. It won what became a BAFTA for Best Dramatic Series. Bradford Dillman recalls that they were allowed a limited number of American guest stars to be specially flown in, like Cameron Mitchell, Joan Hackett and Dennis Hopper. [MEDIA=youtube]ST1gGaS-dCs[/MEDIA] Then they also had to use British, American, Australian and Canadian actors resident in the UK to do American accents, like Donald Sutherland, Kenneth J.

But it's also nice to see Sir Michael Hordern, Dame Judi Dench and Oliver Reed in there too. Also, from the mid-1950s, Hannah Weinstein was using blacklisted American writers to work on the UK's The Adventures of Robin Hood, which starred Richard Greene. So Ring Lardner Jr. might be credited under the pseudonym of Eric Heath and other people. [/QUOTE]
