...only six hours a week before going on camera. He tries to avoid directorial "writer's cramp" in himself by taking on outside chores with other shows and other networks, e.g., directing such westerns as ABC's Outlaw's Reckoning or such thrillers as Brandenburg Gate, as a refreshing change of pace...
Motorola TV Hour (alt. Tues. 9:30 p.m., ABC-TV), another worthy competitor for TV dramatic honors, is handsomely produced, well-cast and ambitiously directed. The TV Hour's only apparent handicap is a lack of good scripts. Last week's Brandenburg Gate dealt familiarly with the cold war in beleaguered Berlin, and the plot leaned heavily on devices borrowed from Carol Reed films and Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Jack Palance was effective as the present-day Sydney Carton who gives his life to free Maria Riva's husband from a Communist death...

During the night some of their leaders were arrested; next day they all struck, and would not return to work even after a Russian officer offered to free the arrested men if they would go back. Joined by strikers from a rope plant and tractor factory, they marched around the mill demanding lower production norms and a 40% cut in prices, shouted...
