...pity and greed turn him into a gigolo and, eventually, a corpse. ABC's U.S. Steel Hour offered another TV version of Henri Bernstein's The Thief (Kraft TV Theater did the same play in 1952), with Paul Lukas, Diana Lynn, Mary Astor and James Deane.

Johns, an old-school politician who must rise high above this reputation if Florida is to escape a return to the Fuller Warren type of government-by-lobby.
