''DuPont Show of the Month'' is an acclaimed 90-minute television anthology series that aired monthly on CBS from 1957 to 1961. The DuPont Company also sponsored a weekly half-hour anthology drama series hosted by June Allyson, ''The DuPont Show with June Allyson'' (1959–61). During the Golden Age of Television, ''DuPont Show of the Month'' was one of numerous anthology series telecast between 1949 and 1962. Superficially, it resembled ''Playhouse 90'' and other anthologies, but ''DuPont Show of the Month'' focused less on contemporary dramas and more on adaptations of literary classics, including ''Oliver Twist'', ''The Prince and the Pauper'', ''Billy Budd'', ''The Prisoner of Zenda'', ''A Tale of Two Cities'' and ''The Count of Monte Cristo''. ==Directors and writers== The directors for the series included Sidney Lumet, Ralph Nelson, Alex Segal and Robert Mulligan. ''DuPont Show of the Month'' was the first anthology series to stage a television dramatization of Thornton Wilder's only novel, ''The Bridge of San Luis Rey''. It also presented original dramas, such as ''The Lincoln Murder Case''. Dale Wasserman wrote for the show, and it was Wasserman's ''I, Don Quixote'' on this series (November 9, 1959) that eventually was developed six years later into ''Man of La Mancha''. The plot and much of the dialogue is identical.〔(IMDb )〕 Other writers included Sidney Kingsley and Terence Rattigan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DuPont Show of the Month」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
