OUR MOST COVETED MISSING ROLE: THE DANNY THOMAS HOUR "The Enemy" 11-20-67
Unlike his Laredo buddy William Smith, Peter Brown fought almost exclusively for the good guys, possibly due to his all-American looks. This is one occasion in which he played an enemy soldier who actually relied on that same all-American look.
In "The Enemy," Peter plays Eddie Kimble, a German spy in an American squadron. When a spy is suspected, a soldier who knows more about music than baseball is under suspicion. Kimball is finally unmasked by Sammy Davis Jr.'s character Chris Christiansen, who goads Kimball into calling him a nigger. Only Kimball pronounces it niger (to rhyme with tiger). Christiansen screams back "It's nigger" and adds an epithet. (At that point the memories of the only two of us who can remember the episode diverge. One remembers Christiansen shooting Kimball, the other does not and at this point, Peter doesn't remember either.)
Peter doesn't have a copy of this episode either and would like to have one. His friendship with Sammy Davis Jr. would make this an appreciated memento. It's particularly hard to find because The Danny Thomas Hour lasted less than a full season. It was a mixed bag of variety, reruns of Thomas comedy series and some drama, including "The Enemy." We'd be willing to pay for transfer from 16mm to video.
