Plot to Kill Stalin TV drama earns high praise
CBS Playhouse 90 opener The Plot to Kill Stalin offered a vivid, tightly drawn portrayal of Kremlin power struggles. Melvyn Douglas, Eli Wallach, Oscar Homolka, E. G. Marshall, Luther Adler, and Thomas Gomez delivered memorable performances as a group of power hungry officials. The script by David Karp presents a plausible fiction based on known facts, focusing on the drive for domination rather than history.

It cites experts and a major marketing conference in Detroit where Malcolm Ferguson of Bendix Aviation argues for a sustained defense spending period with emphasis on new weapons systems and R and D, while predicting limited growth in conventional equipment and soft goods. The Commerce Department forecasts defense procurement totaling 19 billion dollars this fiscal year, up one billion from last year.
