(Note: Written, directed, narrated, designed, and produced by Orson Welles, this episode won a 1958 Peabody Award and is widely regarded as one of the most important works of early television experimentation. It is considered a foundational example of Welles’s essay-film style, directly anticipating later works such as F for Fake, and remains the most critically significant and historically influential episode of Colgate Theatre.)
