Based on the popular radio series, SCREEN DIRECTORS PLAYHOUSE was the ultimate anthology series pairing the biggest Hollywood stars and directors with an original screenplay each week. Originally airing between 1955 to 1956, episodes were directed by heavyweights like Academy Award winners John Ford (Best Director – The Grapes of Wrath, 1941) and Fred Zinnemann (Best Director – From Here to Eternity, 1953) and featured the top stars of the screen and many more in early roles.
