@bernardjkd.bsky.social#StudioOne TV ep #2.03 "The Outward Room" (26-Sep-49).
This article I mistakenly attributed to TV ep #1.05 (09-Jan-49) is actually for this later version of the same story.
Again the ep doesn't exist... just this article remains.

Wichita was played by Anne Francis who would have a legendary career.
She was #HoneyRider which is on my to do list.
However I only as yet seen her in:

They can't do a split screen live on TV yet so how they did the phone call split screen is fantastic and has to be seen to be believed.
The ventriloquist dummy was very pretty uncanny though. Clearly it had an operator but the hand up its arse wasn't noticeable on live TV.

This adapts Ben Hecht's 1928 Short Story of the same name. In the interim it was also a Movie "The Great Gabbo" (12-Sep-29).
I think TV writers might've changed the reference to Fred Astaire who got famous in the 1920s to someone who got famous in the 1940s, eg Sinatra.

I could only find this in 16:9. Serious what vintage TV fans stretches a 4:3 show to 16:9. Idiot.
Ahh late 1940s Radio and TV loves it's scary ventriloquist's dummy psychological interplay and so do I.
