Premise:
"Coronet Blue" was the story of Michael Alden. He was pursued by
some men and dumped into a harbor; when he was retrieved by the
police, he only remembered that he was being pursued and a phrase
that meant nothing to him: "Coronet Blue."
Although intriguing, the show only lasted during its time as a
summer replacement, thirteen weeks in 1967; we never learned what
"Coronet Blue" means.
"Coronet Blue" music by Laurence Rosenthal.
Herbert Brodkin/Plautus Productions produced "Brenner",
"The Defenders" "The Doctors and The Nurses" "For The People"
and "Espionage" and "Coronet Blue"
Note:
This series was originally intended for the 1965-66 season, but
CBS shelved it. And the 11 episodes are being telecast for the first
time during the summer of 1967.
