Sailor of Fortune: Angelina's Adventure (1956)

(Note:  This post is slightly out of chronological order.)


Sailor of Fortune was a 26-episode sea adventure series produced in the UK.  The 30-minute episodes where shot in black and white and starred pre-Bonanza-fame Lorne Greene as the captain of a ship, whose ragtag crew has many anxious moments transporting unusual cargo in international waters. 

Jocelyn played Angelina in an episode called "Angelina's Adventure."  Information about this series is difficult to find.  It does not appear to have ever been released on any type of home video.  It appears that the episodes aired in the UK between late 1955 and early 1957.  By the summer of 1957, Variety was reporting that the series had aired in the UK and was being shopped for syndication in the U.S. by RKO television but was apparently having a hard time finding buyers. 

My best guess is that Jocelyn's episode was probably shot in 1956, airing sometime later that year.

If anyone has more information about this series, please let me know.
