#19119: PRUDENTIAL'S "ON STAGE" : "CERTAIN HONORABLE MEN"

Order

1968-09-12, NBC, 90 min.

An epic political drama about the US Congress and Champ Donahue, a Democratic Congressman from New York expertly portrayed by Academy Award winning actor Van Heflin and his former aide, Robbie Conroy, played by Peter Fonda.
Donahue is accused of engaging in graft and exposed by his 28- year-old protege Conroy.
A superb cast was rounded up for this TV drama. It included veteran character actor Pat Hingle who portrayed Donahue's attorney, Alexandra Isles, and Will Geer. It was taped in NBC's color studio in Brooklyn, NY.

This excellent political drama is now missing and believed lost. It survives as audio in the archives of Archival Television Audio, Inc.
This was the first of five "On Stage" dramas presented by NBC for the 1968-1969 television season.This was David Wolper Productions first TV drama.

Written by Rod Serling.

NOTE:

At the beginning this television presentation, the announcer states:
" And now from New York, on video tape, Act 1 of "Certain Honorable Men." This video tape appears to have been wiped as so many television Quad tapes during the 1960's and 1970's which were then reused for another production.

The movie aired Sept. 12, 1968, on NBC and promptly vanished from the cultural landscape. Despite its pedigree, CERTAIN HONORABLE MEN has essentially been lost to the sands of time. It has never been released on video, or as a DVD. It is also difficult to even locate more than a single photo or the original art work advertising this fascinating presentation adaptation to TV.

The story of the Roman occupation of Judea during the days of Christ.     

Van Heflin stars in this drama, set in Judea. The play centers on two characters; the Hebrew judge, Joseph of Arimathea and his son Jonathan. 
Both men are troubled by the Roman occupation of their land: both have listened to the words of the prophet Jesus. Joseph sees the man of Nazareth as the Messiah, sent to give the people hope without stirring up revolution. Young Jonathan, filled with the same seething resentments as his friends, hears a different message. He interprets Jesus's words as a call to arms.
