Description
Title supplied by cataloger.; Original photograph is damaged along the left side.
Naked City is a police drama series from Screen Gems which was broadcast from 1958 to 1959 and from 1960 to 1963 on the ABC television network. It was inspired by the 1948 motion picture The Naked City and mimics its dramatic 'semi-documentary' format. As in the film, each episode concluded with a narrator intoning the iconic line: 'There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.'
Pictured is actress Silvia Sydney, who played Florence on an episode of "Naked City." No further information has been given. Photograph date stamped May 10, 1961.
