Edgar Allan Poe award for best TV thriller 1963

Newspaper articles list the above award is listed in "The Author's and Writer's Who's Who". I haven't been able to locate this, or determine what work won the award. (I'm not even sure there is such an award. All I know about is the Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, and I don't believe they started issuing awards for TV works until the 1970s?)

According to the official website for the Edgars, "TV Feature or Miniseries" has only been awarded since the 1970s, but "Best Episode in a TV Series" started in the 1950s.

I've found a source which specifies that Clemens' Edgar-winning work was "Scene of the Crime", an episode of The United States Steel Hour. The credited writer of the episode is Sidney Carroll, but I've found another source which states that Carroll adapted it from an earlier script by Clemens.

The Edgars Database confirms that the episode was nominated for "Best Episode in a TV Series" in 1963. Apparently, though, it didn't actually win; it was beaten by the Kraft Mystery Theatre adaptation of "The Problem of Cell 13".

Allowing that sometimes tales grow in the telling, I reckon this is probably it. — Paul A (talk) 05:52, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
