Westinghouse Studio One

Volume -1

Studio One is an American radio–television anthology series, created in 1947 by Canadian director Fletcher Markle, who came to CBS from the CBC.

On April 29, 1947, Markle launched the 60-minute CBS radio series with an adaptation of Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano. Broadcast on Tuesdays, opposite Fibber McGee and Molly and The Bob Hope Show at 9:30 P.M., EST, the radio series continued until July 27, 1948, showcasing such adaptations as Dodsworth, Pride and Prejudice, The Red Badge of Courage and Ah, Wilderness. Top performers were heard on this series, including John Garfield, Walter Huston, Mercedes McCambridge, Burgess Meredith and Robert Mitchum.

Move to television, In 1948, Markle made a leap from radio to television. Sponsored by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, the television series was seen on CBS from 1948 through 1958, under several variant titles: Studio One Summer Theatre, Studio One in Hollywood, Summer Theatre, Westinghouse Studio One and Westinghouse Summer Theatre. It was telecast in black-and-white only. Offering a wide range of dramas, Studio One received Emmy nominations every year from 1950 to 1958.

The series staged some notable and memorable teleplays. Some created such an impact they were adapted into theatrical films. We are delighted to be able to offer some of the best of that series featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood and Broadway from the early 50’s. While most of these shows were originally broadcast LIVE and the only remaining
copies are from Kinescope, we are pleased with the quality of this remarkable set. Most average a good 7/7.5 or better. And most of these shows contain all the original network commercials for Westinghouse with Betty Furness.

Here is great drama, mystery, comedy and more from an era when
LIVE television was king.
