...Guitarist Homer and Mandolin Player Jethro were just a couple of traveling Knoxville musicians in 1938. Then they "got to kiddin' around," and did a parody of Over the Rainbow (to the tune of John Henry). Later, a recording of it sold more than 100,000 copies.

Disconcerted by the response to The Lady on the Rock, Russell & Lumet may call a halt to further experiments in realism, get back in the groove with the uncomplicated mayhem and murder that are the staple of TV's suspense shows...
