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.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Guests: Count Basie, EJ Peaker, New York City Mayor John Lindsay, Peter Ustinov, Charlie Callas.
