Joined in progress, "Hallmark" opens its 17th season with this adaptation of John Hersey's Pulitzer Prize novel, "A Bell for Adano."
The story, a Broadway hit in 1944 and a movie in 1945, focuses on Maj. Victor Joppolo, military governor of Adano. Joppolo's job is to establish democracy in the conquered Sicilian town. His only tools are his energetic dedication and enthusiastic idealism. The obstacles are Army red tape, "military necessity" and the people's dark memories of the Fascist past. TV adaptation by Roger O. Hirson ("The Outpost," "Don't Go Upstairs"). Producer-director: Mel Ferber.
