MASTER BUILDER, THE (3/26/60) HARD TO FIND!!! E.G. Marshall, Lois Smith, Phyllis Love, Fred Stewart, Victor Kilian, James Patterson, Joanna Roos
From legendary playwright Henrik Ibsen comes this powerful and introspective drama, brought to television in a compelling 1960 production of The Master Builder.
E. G. Marshall (Twelve Angry Men) stars as Halvard Solness, a once-great architect now in the twilight of his career. Successful yet deeply flawed, Solness has spent his life dominating those around him—his devoted wife, loyal employees, and past lovers. As his professional confidence begins to crumble, he finds himself confronting his past and reaching for redemption, longing for meaning, love, and reconciliation in the closing chapter of his life.
This acclaimed television adaptation also features standout performances by Lois Smith, Phyllis Love, Fred Stewart, Victor Kilian, James Patterson, and Joanna Roos.
Originally broadcast as part of the syndicated anthology series The Play of the Week, this production captures the emotional depth and psychological complexity of Ibsen’s enduring work.
A rare and thought-provoking presentation of a theatrical classic, offering a fascinating glimpse into early television drama and the timeless struggles of ambition, regret, and human connection.
