Philip Bilden F'86
Original teleplay by Cyril Hume and Richard Maibaum, titled 'Fearful Decision,' carried through the story of the kidnapping from the time the child was picked up until after he strolled back into the house after days of terror for the parents. [...] Frank Wilson gave a moving performance as the devoted family butler; George Mitchell was impressive as the police chief. Joey Fallon was good in his brief appearance as the boy.
Joseph A. Fallon, a New York attorney and Democratic political figure, died Wednesday at Lenox Hill Hospital. He was 51 and lived in Manhattan. [...] He was a graduate of Georgetown University and Brooklyn Law School, and was a partner in the law firm of Fisher, Fallon, Salerno, Betlesky & Kelly. He was a child actor who appeared, starting at age 6, in radio, television, films, theater and commercials. He stopped acting at 13.
