I Led 3 Lives

Herbert Philbrick was a young professional and pacifist in 1939 Boston. He joined an anti-war group and quickly found himself caught up in the secret world of underground communist activity. He agreed to spy on the Communists for the FBI, spending the next 9 years of his life as a Communist, FBI spy, and Communist counter-spy, as they had asked him to follow other comrades to test their loyalty. Hence the 3 lives; and his family, co-workers, and church never knew. This TV show is based on the TRUE story of how Philbrick (played skillfully by Richard Carlson) could never relax, but had to sneak to secret cell meetings and meet FBI agents in clandestine locations to make information drops, never knowing when he might be discovered, and if he would live to see the next rendezvous.
