Not bad at all
I caught this in the middle of the night on AMC -- had never heard of it, and thought it must be an extremely early appearance of Glenn Ford. It was his second, actually. And he did quite a good job, as he always does.
A short film, only an hour, but surprisingly good. Not great, but worth a watch. I'm assuming it's remained a rare film on TV because it was a Dalton Trumbo script -- which one might have guessed just from seeing it.
It was listed on AMC as a Drama, but I thought Comedy was probably a closer description.
