The live dramatic plays presented in Dumont’s Dark of Night were staged in real locations in and around New York City.
The production forgot about the studio sets and props and made the location itself the real star.
Producer-Director Frank Bunetta went to great pains to find unusual locations. Some of those used in the series were the Bayonne Salvage School, the TWA hangar at Idlewild Airport, the Erie Railroad yards, Bretano’s Books, the Century warehouse, Schaeffer Brewing, Brooklyn’s National Foundry Company and the old Lambert Castle atop Garrett Mountain near Paterson, New Jersey.
The 30-minute episodes aired every other Friday at 8:30 pm.
