Behind Closed Doors
Behind Closed Doors is an American drama series set during the Cold War, hosted by and occasionally starring Bruce Gordon as Commander Matson. The series, which aired on NBC from October 2, 1958, to April 9, 1959, explores themes such as how the former Soviet Union stole American missile secrets and suggests measures to prevent further espionage. Behind Closed Doors is based on the files and experiences of Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacharias, who provides commentary at the end of each segment. Behind Closed Doors, a Screen Gems production, replaced Jackie Cooper's sitcom The People's Choice, followed the NBC quiz show, Twenty-One, and preceded The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show. Its competitors included The Pat Boone Chevy Show on ABC and Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater western anthology series on CBS.
