"Incident on a Bridge"

in the early 60s the Plain Dealer had a small magazine supplement calld TV Week. & for a while there was a competion calld "You Are a Critic." in jan of 1962 I won $25 first prize for a review of the Cleveland episode of "Route 66."

I think my only copy of that review is with my papers at Kent. so I don't know what I wrote.

tonite I watchd that episode for the first time since its original viewing. it opens & closes with shots of my beloved Terminal Tower when it was the tallest building in the city. most of the rest is set either in the Flats or Russian Hill. it's wonderful to see Cleveland then. Stirling Silliphant's script has some moving moments. & the young Lois Smith is radiant.
