Stagy, PBSy Horton Foote drama concerns the catastrophic late teens influenza epidemic that hit America— and its tragic effect on a small Texas town. Will probably be seen to best advantage on the small screen; Hallie Foote (the playwright's daughter) is excellent as a woman (based on her own real-life grandmother) whose husband and infant are both stricken. Produced for American Playhouse; followed by prequels ON VALENTINE'S DAY and CONVICTS. 1918 and ON VALENTINE'S DAY were telecast as STORY OF A MARRIAGE.
