Note to Mrs. Patick Campbell (wish I could have see the real one, don't you?): Wasn't this live TV? Hard to do serious makeup changes; also, Blyden was tremendous playing the grasping young guy. I was only about 10, but I remember the look o his face whe he asked, "..why do you all keep running after me?"
In the book Sammy is supposed to be 19 years old in this scene. In this TV version Sammy looks about 40 years old. WTF???!!!!!!
Ever seen a Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp, Hollywood is always shooting those middle aged men as 20 year olds in flashback-type scenes.
Blyden was 34 at the time. You won't find many 19 year olds capable of taking on this part, then or now.
Somewhere Sammy is drooling over the fact that Al would later hire three beautiful women to be detectives for him.😉
