’High Tor’ is regarded as being the first recognized made for television movie. Filmed in November 1955, the television musical was based on Maxwell Anderson’s 1936 play ‘High Tor’. Anderson had first considered adapting ‘High Tor’ as a musical for television in 1949 and enlisted Arthur Schwartz to compose the song score. Both Anderson and Schwartz envisaged the musical as a star vehicle for Bing Crosby who played the lead role of Van Van Dorn. After Crosby had seen Julie Andrews perform in her Broadway debut ‘The Boy Friend’, he insisted she play the female lead of Lise, marking Andrews’ debut on US television.
