The Dick Powell Show: Price of Tomatoes (1962)
Real Title?
I remember this episode and it had a life long effect on me. I became a fan of Peter Falk the night I watched this. But I always remembered the title as "What Price Tomatoes?" And I got the impression that PF was nominated for an Emmy for his role but I can't find any evidence of it. He deserved the Emmy in my opinion, that's for sure. This was a powerful drama and his performance was heart rending. I keep looking for it to be on television on Retro TV or some other network like TV Land, but I haven't been able to so far. I vaguely remember some of the details, the grittiness of the his truck and his initial reticence in providing anything other than a ride to the girl. Some of the writing during that period of time is some of the best in television history, and this is a prime example.
