There were 3, 30 minute episodes made for TV in 1949 and 7, 15 minute episodes made for TV in 1957. Since this includes Eddie Gillilan as Rush, and is 15 minutes long, this can only be the 1957 version.
Treasure as rare as King Tut's tomb, but funnier!
It's hard to believe that this still exists; This is a MUST_SEE for all fans of the remarkable Old Time Radio Vic and Sade series. It is hard to enjoy the humor in this little vignette; you're too busy staring at the crude film quality. With no sets and no blocking, this really isn't a TV show; a filmed radio show is more accurate. But if this is a 1957 filming, it is the very year Mr Harvey died, and sadly, he looks it. "Eddie Gillian" Rush Gook, is an uncanny sound-alike for Bill Idelson. Proctor and Gamble deliberately destroyed most of the radio recordings since they were "taking up space" so let's thank our lucky Philo T. Farnsworths that this little gem escaped their clutches.
It doesn't matter whether this show is any good or not. I'm giving it 5/5 just because it's ULTRA RARE! Thanks to whoever uploaded this rare example of early TV. I just wish it was better preserved, since I have poor hearing so I cannot understand what the characters are saying. This TV broadcast is so RARE that I give it 5/5. Plus, it's a Kinescope, and I love Kinscopes!

This video is so neat! It's a very special visual representation of this great radio program. The actor who played Rush, though he sounds just like him, is not the actor who played him on radio: that was Bill Idelson. It was written by the same man who wrote all the radio scripts, who should definitely be remembered as one of our great American humorists: Paul Rhymer. And these are the original Vic 'n' Sade: Art Van Harvey and Bernadine Flynn. This production was carefully done in a studio, in 1957, nicely lit; and the camera work, though primitive, was not amateurish. It makes me wonder if the producers hoped to market it as a nostalgic representation of Old Time Radio. Possibly the sale fell through because Art Van Harvey died on July 7, or maybe it was because it didn't present the energy of early televison. Regardless, we're sure glad somebody saved it, and thanks so much for posting it.

"Oh little frenzied brother of mine wring your clutching hands and listen for the call of the golden orion as maidens dance by the plashing pool…" from the official special ritualistic greeting to a visiting lodge dignitary. (from the Vic & Sade show of January 2nd, 1939)
