The story rather rem<strong>in</strong>ds me (similar character or sensibility) of the upcom<strong>in</strong>g two-parter<br />
<strong>in</strong> the Fourth Season that Fred Ste<strong>in</strong>er scored titled, “A Quiet Night In Town.” I would<br />
th<strong>in</strong>k “The Night The Town Died” could’ve been an excellent c<strong>and</strong>idate for an orig<strong>in</strong>al<br />
score by <strong>Herrmann</strong> (or the follow<strong>in</strong>g episode).<br />

“The Ledge” February 13, 1960 ***** A+<br />
Wow! Right on the heels of an excellent episode is this compact drama about the<br />
rescue attempt of a fallen man from a mounta<strong>in</strong> ledge. Is that man alive or dead? Is it<br />
worth the effort? This <strong>in</strong>tense psychological drama would be a c<strong>and</strong>idate of my Top Ten<br />
list (if not Top Three). It stars John Hoyt as Doctor Stark, <strong>and</strong> Robert Shannon returns to<br />
play nervous-laugh<strong>in</strong>g Cass. I would th<strong>in</strong>k it an Emmy contender.<br />

“The Lady On The Wall” February 20, 1960 *** B-<br />
Richard Matheson <strong>and</strong> Charles Beaumont co-wrote this cute story (directed by Ida<br />
Lup<strong>in</strong>o) about a pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g of a lovely woman <strong>in</strong> a bar <strong>in</strong> the town of Bonanza. It was<br />
stolen <strong>and</strong> Palad<strong>in</strong> was the first one to be accused of its theft. The episode is pure<br />
diversion, nicely done.<br />
-[Note: Orig<strong>in</strong>al score by Leith Stevens. It’s an admirable score.]<br />
