Title lettered on spine otherwise very good or better. A "revised second draft" of this original teleplay by Schulberg based on a story by Schulberg and Stan Silverman. The project evidently never came to fruition which is a shame as it is an interesting three hour recreation of Charles and Anne Lindbergh's travels to Germany in the 1930s and their activities during the period after the U.S. entered the War. The subject has been treated in a documentary fashion in years since but the idea of a treatment such as this of the sensitive issue might have been difficult to consider putting into production with one of the principals still living at the time.
