"Mrs. Gilling and the Skyscraper" is a 1957 American television play by Sumner Locke Elliott which was an episode of The Alcoa Hour.
Helen Hayes won an Emmy for Best Actress.
Variety argued Hayes "proved abundantly how well she deserves the accolade of “First Lady” of the American stage.
In... a slim.but well-thought-out script... she played the role of a stubborn old lady with force and conviction, bringing to the characterization a wholly believable flavor of a 'lost' generation.
"[1] The Boston Globe called it an "inconsequential drama" that Hayes made "absorbing".
