Family Theater presents Grace Kelly and Edmund O'Brien. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Starwatch Finale starring Edmund O'Brien. And now, here is your hostess Grace Kelly.
Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we're to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families and peace for the world.
Family theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family. And now to our transcribed drama, stopwatch Finale, starring Edmund O'Brien as Ed Gibson. Concerning Edward Gibson, legally tried and condemned to death in the Riverton death house, there are these unusual facts to remember.
The word from the governor yet? Time's gone fast, Warden. Get your mind off the time, Gibson. Can I get you any magazines? No, no thanks. I think I'll just wait. What's the time?
Oh, exactly, four minutes after five. Yeah. That makes it six hours roughly. Right. Six hours to live. I wouldn't keep thinking about it, Gibson. You wouldn't, yeah. I'd do something to get my mind on other things.
What, for instance? I'd read the Bible or something. Something? You're asking me to read a Bible and I've got six hours to live? I can't figure a better time to read one. Yeah. I know they all do it I suppose.
If you want I'll get the chaplain too. You don't need chaplains of Bibles warden when you don't believe in God. Keeps in you. You wouldn't be trying to fool me would you? I think you're a pretty decent fellow.
A decent fellow. Yeah. And they tried me and found me guilty, you still say that. That's right. Thanks, honey. That's one of the reasons why I mentioned the chaplain. You've got six hours to live.
