Satisfactory, I am satisfied with the product wishing only that the missing episodes will soon be available. Good condition knowing the age of the program and the lack of restoration, this was an excellent program and should be restored.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I Led 3 Lives ... Herbert A. Philbrick & Richard Carlson ... Martin Grams (2007)"
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2010
BearManor Media presents "I LED 3 LIVES" (The True Story of Herbert A. Philbrick's Television Program) (Paperback), by Martin Grams Jr. --- The show I Led Three Lives began each episode with a mysterious voice intoning that "this is the story. . . the fantastically true story, of Herbert A. Philbrick, who for nine frightening years did lead three lives: average citizen, high-level member of the Communist Party, and counterspy for the Federal Bureau of Investigation --- This story is based on fact." Sometimes an opening voice-over claimed that Philbrick "has now revealed for the first time his secret files concerning not only his own activities, but those of other counterespionage agents." --- Philbrick was represented to great dramatic effect by the actor Richard Carlson --- Rounding out the rest of the cast were Philbrick's family, a squad of special agents, and a baleful cell of Communist thugs --- Although the plots veered in the direction of formula melodrama, Philbrick's exchanges with the producers show that they were intent on rendering accurately the procedures, terminology, and atmosphere of the Communist Party --- And Grams book hits the bullseye dead center.

BIOS:
Herbert A. Philbrick
Date of Birth: 11 May 1915 - Boston, Massachusetts
Date of Death: 16 August 1993 - North Hampton, New Hampshire

2. Richard Carlson
Date of Birth: 29 April 1914 - Albert Lea, Minnesota
Date of Death: 24 November 1977 - Encino, California

SOME GOODIES FOR YOU TO SAVOR:
1. A complete production history of this fascinating program, including memories and quotes from Richard Carlson,
Frederic Ziv, and others.
2. A complete episode guide listing in extreme detail, all 117 episodes in production order, including dates they were
filmed, complete cast lists, where each scene was filmed on location throughout California, and other pieces of trivia
so detailed it'll make your head swim.
3. Reprints of story ideas and suggestions that just never fleshed out into a feasible television episode.
4. Internal correspondence between Philbrick and the television producer so you can see first hand exactly what kind
of involvement the real Philbrick had with the production of this series.
5. Background information about Philbrick's book, including reprints of book reviews, and Philbrick's opinions about
how his involvement with the F.B.I. founded the book, and how the book changed his life.
6. Brief critical essays about other Anti-Communist films including RED PLANET MARS (1952),
I WAS A COMMUNIST FOR THE F.B.I. (1951), and INVASION U.S.A. (1951) to name a few, and their influence
and comparison with the I LED THREE LIVES series --- Plus much, much more!

Special footnote, Grams book documents the entire history of the television program, including production, unaired pilot, the book which the series was adapted from, how Carlson recorded his voice overs, the financial stakes both producer and lead actor accepted before the premiere, and Herbert A. Philbrick himself --- Grams and BearManor are fastley becoming one of my favorite interests in reading nostalgic Old-Time Radio and Television Shows --- Highly recommend, do not pass this one up as good reading with factual details is hard to find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who Could Ask For More?
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2008
Martin Grams is starting to become one of my favorite authors. I have more books by Tom Weaver and Ben Ohmart, but Grams is number three on my list. If he keeps this up, I'll need to devote a shelf of books for his reference guides. The detail level for all of the episodes is extraordinary. Since the series was filmed on location throughout Los Angeles, the locations for each shot is documented. Total man hours, prop department, dates each episode was filmed, dates for each draft of the script including revised pages, it just keeps on coming.

Only book that has more detail level than this one is Grams' THE TWILIGHT ZONE: UNLOCKING THE DOOR TO A TELEVISION CLASSIC also available on Amazon.com
