Courtroom Dramas Well Adapted For Television

It is difficult to find an entertainment form as engaging for TV as courtroom drama. ABC’s two hour adaptation of A Case of Libel holds tension with strong performances from Van Heflin and Lloyd Bridges, plus solid supporting turns.

A Bob Hope NBC slot features a USC benefit program at Madison Square Garden.
