A researcher-producer for The History Channel has discovered a kinescope recording of the original TV production of Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Men, officials of the Museum of Television & Radio announced Tuesday. The drama, which aired live on CBS's Studio One in 1954, is regarded as one of early television's most notable dramatic achievements and earned an Emmy for Robert Cummings, who played a hold-out juror against 11 others. The TV drama was later made into a theatrical film that starred Henry Fonda in the Cummings role. The kinescope turned up in the home of the late New York defense attorney (and later judge) Samuel Leibowitz while Joseph Consentino was researching a History Channel documentary about him.
