- On Borrowed TimeE2
On Borrowed TimeYoung Pud is orphaned and left in the care of his aged grandparents. The boy and his cantankerous old grandfather become inseparable friends. But Gramps is concerned for his grandson's future and wary of a scheming relative who seeks Pud's custody. One day Mr. Brink--an agent of Death--arrives to take Gramps "to the land where the woodbine twineth." Through a bit of trickery, Gramps confines Mr. Brink, and thus Death, to the top of an old apple tree, giving Gramps extra time to resolve issues about Pud's future. - The Little MinisterE14
The Little MinisterFord Theatre's recent CBS-TV adaptation of James M. Barrie's *The Little Minister* brought the romance of Babbie, the bewitching gypsy, and the serious young minister to life. Tom Drake beautifully portrayed the minister's struggle with a forbidden love, culminating in the revelation that Babbie, vibrantly played by Frances Reid, was in fact Lady Barbara Rintoul.
