[This was an attempt to translate a long running radio series
from 1940, to a television version. The premise, as well as the title,
was a bit melodramatic -- it concerned the adventures of a woman
who chooses a career as an attorney over the traditional
1940s role as a housewife;
Perhaps any engaging drama in that type of conflict was already
beginning to wear thin by the mid-1950s; but when it became obvious
that the transition from radio to TV wasn't working very well,
there was a desperate attempt to re-cast its roles and change the
series title to "The Inner Flame".
Unfortunately the problems with this series proved too
intractable, so the melodrama ended after one season on TV in
favor of less "over the top" soaps which followed.]
(CBS Daytime, 1954 - 1955)
[one change for television was to replace the typical organ
THEME from radio with one supplied by Tony Mottola and his jazz combo;
Mottola's group also supplied underscores for the dramatic
anthology series called "Danger" during Primetime]
