Fifty years after its initial television broadcast on NBC’s “Sunday Showcase,” KOCH Vision and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation proudly present the historic DVD debut of Budd Schulberg’s scathing Hollywood drama WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN? – directed by Academy Award®-winner Delbert Mann (Marty).
