Mr. Inside / Mr. Outside

N.p. N.p., Circa 1973. Archive of material from the 1973 television movie, originally planned to be the pilot episode of a television series, which originally aired on March 14, 1973, on NBC. Included in the archive are nine copies of a treatment script for a prospective episode, titled "A Fungi Affair," an early treatment script for an untitled separate episode, and a resume sheet for production company Philip D'Antoni Productions.
