Playhouse 90 (1956)
Playhouse 90 is a 1956 drama series created by Hubbell Robinson and Frank Stanton. It stars Kim Hunter, Cliff Robertson and Nehemiah Persoff.
Playhouse 90 is an American television anthology series that was telecast on CBS from 1956 to 1960 for a total of 133 episodes. It originated from CBS Television City in Los Angeles, California. Since live anthology drama series of the mid-1950s were usually hour-long shows, the title highlighted the network's intention to present something unusual, a weekly series of hour-and-a-half dramas rather than 60-minute plays. Playhouse 90 began as a pitch by Frank Stanton, the formidable, forward-thinking right-hand man to CBS chairman William S. Paley, during a brainstorming session for program ideas. The project was ultimately developed by Hubbell Robinson, a CBS vice president who received no screen credit on Playhouse 90 but is often described as its creator.
