Probable sole edition of this script for "The Dick Powell Show," production #4721, revised on 1 June 1961, produced and directed by Ralph Nelson and with Powell as executive producer. "The Dick Powell Show" (1961-63) was a drama and comedy anthology series hosted by actor/producer/director/singer/studio executive Powell (1904-63), who occasionally acted in it. "John J. Diggs" featured Dick Powell in the lead role, together with Rhonda Fleming, and was intended as a pilot for an adventure series that was never developed. It aired on October 17, 1961, the fourth episode of the first season. Typical film script, typed and mimeographed on one side only and with text stock that alternates from orange to blue to green. Interestingly, at upper left of the front wrapper "1st Hunter / Joe Haworth" is penned in blue ballpoint. Perhaps character actor Haworth (1914-2000) tried out for the "First Hunter" small role listed in the cast?
