Movie Technique To Be Adopted For TV Program
A radical shift in directing television drama will occur on the United States Steel Hour with Oberstrasse 49. John Haggart, associate producer, directs in Segal’s absence and plans fast motion picture style cuts in live scenes. The plot centers on a three-person chase to a secret address near the Iron Curtain, likened to a chess game where each move matters. Haggett, veteran of Hollywood with John Ford, asserts the live camera must carry the rapid transitions and actor timing to realize this experimental method.
