Change Of Pace Falters For NBC Hall Of Fame
NBC’s Hall of Fame shifts to an original contemporary drama this season with A Punt A Pass and a Prayer. The 90 minute play centers on star quarterback Johnny Aragon, played by Hugh O’Brien, whose attempted comeback after a near fatal head injury fails. Besy Palmer portrays his wife, while a callous manager, scout and sensationalist reporter surround him. The drama’s dialogue and portrayal of professional football draw criticism as contrived and tawdry. The piece ends with a failed comeback and a suggested new life away from football.
