Why TV Producers are Sometimes Like Baseball Managers

TVC 543.5: Joseph Wallenstein, author of Flynn and Miranda: Your Right to Remain Silent, discusses how the Miranda case addresses both Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendment issues. He also shares a few stories about his career in television, including working with Julie Harris and producer Michael Filerman on Knots Landing, and with Oscar winner Jessica Tandy on the award-winning TV-movie The Story Lady. Flynn and Miranda: Your Right to Remain Silent is a historical novel that not only tells the back story of the historic U.S. Supreme Court ruling Miranda v. Arizona from June 1966, but explores how the outcome of the case had a ruinous effect on attorney John Flynn. Joe’s book also includes the original U.S. Supreme Court petition that Flynn filed in July 1965, plus the transcript of a detailed interview that Flynn gave to Joe in September 1979 (just a few months before Flynn died). June 13, 2021 marked the 55th anniversary of the Miranda decision. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
