Yes, excellent choice! I was finally able to catch her Academy Award winning performance in Dark Angel (1935) a few months ago on TCM. Superb actress.

Mrs. Higgins,
I think your thread here is great and your suggestions of Noah or his brother Wallace as Floyd Lewellen is spot on. But I don't think this episode is worthy of your attention.
It's so bad that I can recall watching it for the first time on CBS 30 years ago and thinking,
'what is this crap?'
The episode is like a broken pencil, pointless. CBS - and the viewers - would have been better off if they ran an episode of My Mother the Car and a half hour propaganda film about the 1962 North Korean rice harvest to fill the time slot.
All copies of "All Roads Lead to Floyd" should be buried by The Lads in the back yard of Robins Nest, where like Beethoven after he died, they will de-compose.
