A String of Blue Beads

A String of Blue Beads presents a Christmas tale based on a true story. The film was created as a pilot for an anthology series that ultimately did not materialize. Its production by Royal Park Productions captures the essence of early television as one of the few early color productions that can now be viewed in color.

The film features a cast that includes Louis Jourdan, Ellen-Cobb Hill, and Margaret Hamilton. With a runtime of just 30 minutes, it offers a brief yet engaging story that reflects the charm of its era. The limited color capabilities of early broadcasts contribute to an 'old time' feel that enhances the viewing experience for those interested in television history.
