Or rather a kinescope of the live TV production from 1953 starring Eddie 
Albert and Lorne Greene on the CBS Westinghouse Studio One series.  It's 
basically a televised play so interesting to see how it was handled.  It 
would have been live on the east coast and they use kinescopes for other 
time zones.  Kinescope is a technique where a cathode ray tube (flying 
spot scanner) would expose 16mm film with with each pixel.  Each reel of 
16mm film (probably about 15-20 minutes) was then processed so it would 
be available for the next time zone.  It's a 50 minute production:
