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.
