Shadow of a Pale Horse
Shadow of a Pale Horse was a well-received Australian television one-off drama which aired in 1960 directed by David Cahill. Produced by Sydney station ATN-7, it was also shown in Melbourne on station GTV-9, as this was prior to the creation of the Seven Network and Nine Network (it is not known if it was also shown in Adelaide, Brisbane or Perth). It was part of The General Motors Hour,[1] a loosely scheduled occasional series which presented various types of one-off local productions. Although set in Australia, it was originally written for British television, where it aired as part of ITV Play of the Week in 1959, and was also adapted for American television (as part of The United States Steel Hour) and Canadian television in 1960. Duration was 60 minutes including commercials (running time excluding commercials is not known).
