Peter Tewkesbury ALMOST made a TV show of Salinger short story 'For Esme With Love and Squalor' but the two men quarreled about casting. There is a subtle 'Salinger' feel to this series and it caught the imagination of high school-college age youth the way Catcher in the Rye once did. Last time I saw Peter he was running a coop food store in Vermont. Glen Corbett was a nude gay model for physique magazines throughout the fifties and note how he keeps himself well under wraps here.
How ironic that they canceled a show that fit perfectly into the youth demographic TV dreams of capturinng.
