...four ballet evenings, the Festival presented a company headed by Andre Eglevsky (who had also performed at the 1956 and 1958 Festivals). Paired up with Melissa Hayden, the two demonstrated their renowned artistry in pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's Black Swan and Delibe's Sylvia. The pleasantest surprise was the dancing of young Edward Villella; his entrechats were breathtaking, and his consummate general control clearly places him on the verge of a noble career. Most of the dancers in the company were from the New York City Ballet. Among the other items on the program was the world premiere...

Caught in a nightmare marriage with a termagant hypochondriac (Clarice Blackburn), he falls in love with her winsome young cousin (Julie Harris). In the end, the lovers decide on suicide-downhill on a toboggan, crashing into a thick-trunked elm. Viewers who had not read Ethan Frome then got one of the most abrupt shocks ever delivered by television: Julie Harris, seen years later...
