A quote from Cary O'Dell,
"Made in 1959, by Screen Gems productions in cooperation with the Treasury Department, "Twenty-Four Hours in Tyrantland" featured the full cast of the hit, beloved television series, "Father Knows Best," including patriarch Robert Young, his wife, played by Jane Wyatt, and their three children, enacted by Elinor Donahue, Billy Gray and Lauren Chapin. The program (though this film was never broadcast, indeed never meant to be broadcast, for the sake of readability and understanding, I will refer to is as an "episode" or "program" for the purposes of this article) was created for showing to youth groups, clubs, church organizations and other places where the young and impressionable might be likely to congregate. It was intended as a tool for promoting the sale of savings bonds."
