*NOTE: Steven H. Scheuer review:
CBS little appreciated Sunday a.m. stanza, Camera Three, just completed a particularly rewarding two-part series on the
famous Sacco-Vanzetti trial of the mid-20's. This nonsponsored show felt no compunctions about showing the hysteria surrounding
the trial at that time and indicating that many eminent jurists, including Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter, feel that the
two men received notoriously unfair treatment at the hands of the Massachusetts Court.
Several live TV dramas shows in the last couple of years had wanted to do a program based on the Sacco-Vanzetti case but,
in each case, the sponsor vetoed the idea, claiming it was "too controversial" some So years later.
