- A 1963 DuPont Show of the Week teleplay starring Tuesday Weld and Alfred Drake, directed by Franklin J. Schaffner.
Lylah Clare was the most exciting Hollywood star of the 1930’s, a wild combination of Jean Harlow and Clara Bow, until she died under suspicious circumstances. Many years later, Louie Zakin (Alfred Drake), the director who first discovered Lylah, decides to make a biopic about her. He casts Elsie Brinkmann (Tuesday Weld), an inexperienced young actress, as Lylah and tries to mold her into an exact copy of the dead star. He succeeds almost too well, and soon it begins to seem as if Lylah has really come back from the dead.
In 1968 The Legend of Lylah Clare was remade by Robert Aldrich as a film, starring Kim Novak as Lylah. The remake was a notorious flop. Many consider the original to be the superior version of the story.

I am 26... watching these old movies and tv shows ignites memories I do not have because I didn't live during this era. But I can feel the essence almost as if I did.
This was made about a year after Monroe died and it shows... fascinating. And Tuesday Weld, once again, proves what a talented actress she was.
Tuesday Weld did such an excellent job, I kept forgetting that she was Tuesday Weld!
WoW! I just came about this post after reading about Tuesday Weld. I own and Love Kim Novaks version. I never knew this existed! 1963 and Kim's Version 1968. Kim Novak I hv loved -love since a kid.. Tuesday Weld I always liked her and is outstanding as Lylah!. Thank You for Posting this. I'm so enjoying it!!! . Commercials too!😂 ✌💗
Thanks for sharing this! I love Tuesday Weld and this was one of her performances I had never seen.
powerful performance
Thank you very much for posting this
Thank you for posting this. I'm a big fan of Tuesday Weld.
Wow looked for this forever thanks for posting this!!
The shirt ads are almost as much fun as the picture
“ in this business in five years you’re an old lady unless you’re a star, a big star”! How true, Joan Crawford was still playing younger parts from her 40’s on up.
And she always looked her age!
Kim Novak did a really good motion picture The Legend Of Lylah Clare based on this teleplay. ...This production starring Tuesday Weld is also very good.
I like Kim Novak, of course in *Vertigo* , and also the remake of *Of human bondage* with Lawrence Harvey.
I remember seeing the trailer for the movie. I was not aware Novak had the part. I would have guessed Carol Baker [who did play Harlow in 1965].
She said as soon pretty! Just as beautiful as Marilyn ❤️🤩
Merci ! Dupont™ 🤣. For the archives.
So glad you posted this hard-to-find episode. While she was great in feature films, TV really gave Tuesday a chance to shine. She really could pass for a 1930s movie star. Alfred Drake looks kind of devilish, was that intentional?
Thank you Tuesday XOXOXO
Better than the 1968 Kim Novak dud -
Oh yeah. This one is WAY better. The remake was just too weird. This version gets into the characters more. The music in this version is better too-- jazzy and film noir-ish. The music in the remake was incredibly schmaltzy and cheesy.
That wig. She didn't need it - Tuesday had wild blonde hair. The plot was a little difficult to discern. Was he impotent? Homosexual? Well, anyway, anything with Tuesday in it.
I don't recall if I saw the 1968 version and I haven't seen this yet, but it's ironic that Novak got the part, maybe because the plot seems to parallel Hitchcock's *Vertigo* somewhat
This sounds naive but when Zarkin says "I found Lylah in the wrong kind of movie" does he mean a stag film?
Airdate 19 May 1963,
Real Big Sigh. I was wrapping up 1st grade, about 3 weeks left in the school year.
What happened to the bathtub scene? It’s a separate clip on UA-cam, but it’s missing here.
It’s not missing. It starts at 33:54
@@BeautifulBombs Thanks - I must have dozed off for a little while the first time through. Thanks for posting this - I’ve tried to find it for years, Alfred Drake being my idol.
kim noval la beaute did this movie
Half as long as the '68 film with Kim Novak, so I guess it's twice as good? Weld's wonderful, but it's not that interesting a story. Maybe if the "possession" angle was played up more.
You could always do another remake!
@@BeautifulBombs But where would you get a Tuesday Weld or Kim Novak?

@@fredbloggs6080 Funny you would say that. I first met "Lucy" at Schwabs
