Production
The show was based on a play by Aimee Stuart. It had been adapted for Australian radio in 1951[6] 1952[7] and 1954[8] and for British TV in 1955 as part of anthology series London Playhouse.[9]
The ABC had a site in the Melbourne suburb of Rippon Lea. However it did not have normal TV studio facilities yet so the production was filmed at a temporary studio at Coppin Hall in Richmond. (The studio was used for a six-month period from 1 July while the Rippon Lea studios were being built. Among the shows made there were variety shows, musicals and the Village Glee Club.)[2][10]
It was the first hour-long television drama broadcast in Melbourne. Marcia Hart, who was in the cast, had previously appeared in the first hour long television drama broadcast in Chicago (a production of Gaslight).[11]
