Warning: Spoilers
Too bad we can't watch these instead of reality TV shows.Have watched House For Sale,A String Of Beads,The Island,among others,these three include George Macready,the man you love to hate back in the day.He was downright terrifying in House For Sale with Ida Lupino s his victim(he later said his was one of his favorite TV performances),a total SOB in The Island,who is redeemed after taught a lesson in humility by Niven and the threat of losing his wife to Niven,and String Of Beads with Ronald Colman/Angela Lansbury,Macready/and one of Nigel Bruce's last performances.String Of Beads Macready is a Count who commits a practical joke which leads to all kinds of fun,something I can imagine the actor capable of being a great deal of fun in real life.Love the ending for String Of Beads.These all need to be released to the public,not just a set here and there.Can't wait to watch more episodes.
