This past Sunday (January 10th) was an amazing day. Arthur Marks, director of 3 excellent Steve Canyon episodes from 1959 (among other things) invited myself, videographer Laura Lozano and TV archivist Peter Greenwood into his home to record his memories of working on the series.

That's Arthur Marks in the foreground and me (John Ellis) in the background, sporting our flashy Steve Canyon accouterments!
We talked about many aspects of his work on the series for nearly an hour, which included details about his work on Perry Mason, I Spy and other leading edge TV series that he directed episodes of over the years. Portions of this interview will be included in THE COMPLETE STEVE CANYON ON TV Volume 3 this coming spring. The full interview will eventually be available online.
Here's an actual frame from the interview of Arthur displaying his bound copy of his Steve Canyon teleplays.
During the interview I asked Mr. Marks if he had kept any memorabilia from the series, and he produced a bound volume containing the scripts for his 3 episodes that he directed for STEVE CANYON in 1959!
Here's a closer view of the gold leaf embossed leather cover to his bound volume of scripts. Arthur had all of his scripts bound this way over the years for his office library.
Following our video interview we recorded audio commentary for all three of his Steve Canyon episodes...marvelous facts and details emerged that we are sure that fans of the series will certainly enjoy as bonus materials on THE COMPLETE STEVE CANYON ON TV Volume 3.
