This was an excellent version of the play. Waites was probably
trying to break away from the John Walton role into more serious
ones. This was a good move. I never taped it either, so this is
purely from memory but I saw it at least twice and a lot is still vivid.
It was accompanied by a short documentary on Waite's Los
Angeles Actors Theater on Santa Monica Boulevard and Western,
a very seedy area at the time. The documentary talks about a
harrowing production Miguel Pinero's "Midnight Moon at the
Greasy Spoon." I would love to see it again. I'm hoping the Museum of Television &
Radio will come up with a tape.
