		Mr. Erskine had hardly reached maturity when it became apparent to his family, friends and fellow students at Williams College that his primary interest was the theater. He chose summer stock as a base for his theatrical training, acting thoughout the East, in Bermuda and eventually in California. After performing in one Hollywood film, "Seminole," he returned to New York to find employment in all the major television dramas. In 1953 he entered the managerial ranks of the theatre as associate producer of the comedy, "Late Love," then co-produced, with author Joseph Hayes, the highly successful "The Desperate Hours." "Calculated Risk" is the third collaboration of Mr. Erskine and Mr. Hayes. Soon after "The Desperate Hours" premiered, Mr. Erskine, acclaimed as the youngest producer of a smash hit, went to London to direct the British production. The second co-producing venture for the team of Erskine and Hayes was also a co-directorial effort for "The Happiest Millionaire," starring Walter Pidgeon, a few seasons ago.
