1955
The Little Guy
Jane Wyman Presents the Fireside Theatre (NBC)
half-hour drama
Don Weis, director
Jack Corrick, assistant director

The Little Guy was literally and figuratively Dane Clark in this half-hour episode fronted by one of the few women to attain early TV stardom, Jane Wyman, who introduced the episode, which was an Emmy Award nominee for its editing. Lee Marvin, who would later team with director Weis for a number of episodes of the late-1950s tough-cop show M Squad, played one of his first substantial TV roles here. Weis would go on to direct many comedy series and such movies as The Affairs of Dobie Gillis (1953) and the Bob Hope/Lucille Ball film Critic's Choice (1963).
