...days for each half-hour. With rare exceptions, the all-important night scenes are faked on the back lots of Hollywood; to save overtime wages, these are shot in daylight with the cameras stopped down or filtered. Most of the all-important fights are faked too. Some actors, e.g., Craig Stevens, who was once an amateur boxer, like to throw their own fists in the closeups, but directors are leary of such heroics. So far in 51 scraps, Stevens has had only one accident-a torn fingernail. Darren (Mike Hammer) McGavin has also had only one accident: a broken...
...shortstop named Maury Wills turned into a fielding flash. Pulled off the bench, boyish-faced Jim Gilliam, 30, filled the big hole at third. Picked up from St. Louis, craggy-browed Outfielder Moon, 29, lifted the team with his slashing play.

Since then, I Search for Adventure has found pay dirt in everything from elephant hunts to mountain climbing. Douglas followed up with Golden Voyage, an unashamed imitation of old-fashioned movie travelogues, then tried an underwater series called Kingdom of the Sea. By 1956, when he started Bold Journey, another version of Search, Douglas was one of the best markets a traveling movie photographer could find. His own camera crews ranged the world, reporting...
...that poor, sweet, tortured face! Let me kiss it." After that entrance it was hard to believe the program. The seductively feline manner and the shapely, shaved legs (badly nicked by a dressing-room razor) of Lorraine Sheldon belonged to an actor named T. (for Thomas) C. (for Craig) Jones...
