Actors

edit

The series offered Buster Keaton in his first dramatic role in the episode entitled "The Awakening". British actor Christopher Lee appeared in various roles in sixteen episodes, including "Destination Milan".[1]

Production

edit

Fairbanks was executive producer for the program,[3] which was filmed at the British National Studios, Elstree, England and on location in England and in other parts of Europe.[2] NBC Films was the original distributor, but by mid-1954, it had begun distributing a package titled Paragon Playhouse, while Interstate TV distributed episodes with the original title.[5]

Herman Blaser was the production supervisor, and Lawrence Huntington was the director. John and Gwen Bagni wrote the scripts.[6] Music for the show was composed by Allan Gray.[citation needed]

Recognition

edit

In 1954, Douglas Fairbanks Presents was named the best non-network dramatic film series in The Billboard's Second Annual TV awards.[5]

Other titles

edit

The program had different titles in different areas. Those titles often included the name of the sponsor, such as Rheingold Theatre[1] (when Rheingold Brewery sponsored it in New York City[2] and at least 15 other locations[4]) and Triangle Theatre (based on sponsor Blatz Beer's logo) in Wisconsin.[2] In Melbourne, Australia the series was aired under the title Chesebrough Ponds Playhouse.[citation needed]
