Yellow Sky

Oh, uh, waiter? Yes, sir? I'll have some sliced chicken, some potato salad, and a bottle of cold, papped blue ribbon. Yes, sir. Finest beer served anywhere. From Hollywood, papped blue ribbon, finest beer served anywhere.

Proudly presents... Screen Director's Playhouse, Production Yellow Sky, Director William Wellman, Star Gregory Pack. The Hollywood Screen Director's present a story written in the Western Sands. The popular motion picture, Yellow Sky, starring Gregory Peck, and introduced by the director of the film Mr. William Wilk.

Our guest screen director tonight has created more than individual motion pictures. He has created entertainment for a generation, bringing scores of hours of adventure and drama to the screen as the director of such memorable pictures as Wings, A Star is Born, The Story of G.I. Joe, The Ox-Fo Incident, and Tonight's Adventure, Yellow Sky.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. William Wellman. A century ago, the frontiers of the West sounded as siren called to men who was strong and tough and ambitious. And sometimes they were lawless with a swaggering contempt for justice.

Today, the frontier still sounds its call to adventure in the tales of its time and people. We heard that call when we filmed tonight's story. Now here it is for the first time on the air, Yellow Sky, starring Gregory Peck in his original role of stretch.

In a flat pan of the desert, the ghost town of Yellow Sky hugs the seared brown dust, sinking into its own barren loneliness to escape the sun. In the deserted quiet, nothing lives, nothing stirs, until...

Grandpa! Grandpa! There's men coming! Five men coming across the desert! I can't go on. Keep going. Blow around and dry. What's the use? Nothing but desert. No water for two days. The horse is useless.
