Cast

Radio adaptation

Elliott also adapted the script for radio, and a play version was broadcast in Australia in 1954 for The General Motors Hour.
The Age wrote "it made excellent listening."

"Whereabouts Unknown"

Elliott reworked the material for "Whereabouts Unknown", an episode of The Kaiser Aluminum Hour starring MacDonald Carey and Kim Hunter.
The Buffalo News wrote "Kim Hunter had a great role and she lived it up to the hilt... the play built to a poignant finale."
The Atlanta Journal called it a "superficial drama" which "wasted the talents of Kim Hunter."
