Wednesday, August 31 - Studio One in Hollywood: Flowers from a Stranger

Studio One in Hollywood (1948–1958): Flowers from a Stranger (Episode aired 13 February 1950)

Features an early appearance by Yul Brynner as something of a mad doctor seeking revenge on a woman for the sole reason that she is the daughter of a woman who spurned his love twenty two years earlier. Lorna Bailey (Felicia Montealegre) is the wife of a psychiatrist, and she's always had this morbid phobia of white carnations. It turns out that her mother was carrying white carnations when she was pushed into the path of an oncoming train as the five year old Lorna witnessed her death. As the story progresses, we learn that Dr. Nestri (Brynner) has tracked Lorna to America, and if he can't rekindle a romance with the surrogate daughter, then he'll have to kill her too.
