If you upload this to YouTube, please make it clear that this is an incomplete episode. Also, please note that most 1950s/1960s era episodes of this series are lost.

An episode of the soap opera "The Edge of Night". Unusually well-directed for a late-1950s soapy, with some interesting camera angles. The print is obviously very beat-up, and possibly incomplete (though even back in the 1950s, daytime series had less minutes of actual show than prime-time series).
