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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0D-VufaKRU
