List of episodes

"Before I Wake" is a 1953 American television play written by Sumner Locke Elliott.[1] It was an episode of The Philco Television Playhouse.[2][3]

Producer Fred Coe said it was about the need of an individual to be loved.[4]

Variety wrote "if Before I Wake was meant for what it looked - just a good tearjerke - then Duff and Elliott did a good job. If, however, their aspirations were higher, and the show was primarily to convey the pain of a woman who thinks herself deceived by a dead man, the quality needed just wasn't there."[3]
