Farley Granger plays Pyotr Tchaikovsky opposite Helen Hayes as Madame von Meck, the wealthy patron whose letters and money supported the composer for years on the condition that the two never meet. That unusual arrangement is the drama at the heart of this NBC production. The still was made in 1960 for *The Bell Telephone Hour*, the long-running music series that brought opera, ballet and dramatic pieces into American homes.
