- Description
- Recounts efforts to find "film elements" (recorded vestiges) of "The Deadly Riddle," a 1956 television version of WBT, produced by Roy Huggins for "Warner Brothers Presents," starring Natalie Wood and Jacques Sernas. Only paratextual material provides evidence of the lost recording, indicating loose adaptation of WBT, yet enabling a fantasy of reconstruction. Also, CT may be seen as the "originary origin" for framed serial storytelling, a recurrent technique of television and radio
