The Sixth Wheel (Excerpts, 1962)

TVA Photographer Sam Orleans operated a movie studio in downtown Knoxville,Tennessee from the late 1940s until the mid-1960s. Sam produced hundreds of educational, training, television, entertainment, and documentary films, many now lost.
Many of Orleans' films used local Knoxville actors and locations. Eagle eyed viewers will spot vintage scenes of Broadway, the Fellini Kroger, North Hills, Bearden Tourist courts, Burlington, and even downtown Maryville! See if You can spot director Orleans himself making an Alfred Hitchcock-style cameo at the White City Motor Court on Kingston Pike.
Pardon the quality of this film transfer, which had been stored in a barn for many years. Through the years, the film had decomposed, shrunken, color-faded, and began to turn into dust. I worked with it a long time to bring it back to life in any form. Thank you UJ Hale for saving the reel all of these years.
