A Flame In The Wind
''A Flame in the Wind'' (renamed ''A Time for Us'' in 1965) is an American soap opera that aired on ABC Daytime from December 28, 1964, to December 16, 1966. It was created by Raphael Hayes, co-author of the Cannes Film Festival winner ''One Potato, Two Potato'' and Joseph Hardy, producer of the soap opera ''Love of Life''. It was videotaped live daily at ABC's Manhattan studios at 121 W 68th St, New York City. Background Attempting to build upon its two soap line-up of ''General Hospital'' and ''The Young Marrieds'', ABC premiered this rather traditional series about class conflict in the small town of Haviland. Oddly, ABC chose not to air ''A Flame in the Wind'' immediately before ''General Hospital'' as would have been expected. Instead, the series was followed by the long-running courtroom anthology series ''Day in Court'' which then led into ''General Hospital''. At the time of its debut in December 1964, ''A Flame in the Wind'' aired opposite the hugely popular game show ''Pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
