(ABC Primetime, 1965 - 1966)
[flush from the success of the nighttime serial drama "Peyton
Place", ABC attempted to repeat the formula using another
20th-Century Fox motion picture drama as the basis for this
series; the 1958 motion picture was based upon a William
Faulkner southern novel of the same title;
the cast for this drama included actors Edmond O'Brien, Dan
O'Herlihy, Roy Thinnes, Nancy Malone, Ruth Roman and Lana Wood;
In 1985 a TV mini-series based upon the novel/movie starring
Don Johnson was attempted, but got unfavorable criticism.]
