Our Town (Producers' Showcase)

"Our Town" is a 1955 episode of the American anthology series Producers' Showcase directed by Delbert Mann and starring Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint.

Sinatra plays the stage manager and Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint portray the teenagers who fall in love and get married.

[1] Frank Sinatra wears a suit and tie during the live broadcast, and intermittently dons a cocked fedora during the show.

All episodes of Producers' Showcase were broadcast in full color although only black and white kinescopes remain for most of the shows, including "Our Town" as well as a 90-minute version of '"The Petrified Forest" starring Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall.

The show was praised by television critics, although several writers have questioned Sinatra's suitability for the role of the Stage Manager.
