I'llbedamned! That was a half smarta*s guess that connected. I thought that the real answer might be somewhere in "Bad Seed' type territory. Next up:
Dynastic dispute. Reigning monarch -- of a clan, not a nation -- names his grandson as his successor, in preference to his son. Resulting conflict.

Correct, Kid Dabb. The Boy From Oklahoma would have been correct also. Your thread.

And BTW, a question I haven't been able to answer for my self. As of about 2 days ago, the sections where I have checked the "Watch this thread" option are no longer showing up in my Email space. On the TCM display, they still show the pics of the tiny binoculars, but the messages do not show up in my Emails, as they should. Is this just me, or is it happening to others also??

The one upside about those days: They cleared a grand a week feeding Carson some jokes that he used on the air, always with references to the NBC Commissary.

Oopsie! Dozed off, I guess. Next up:

To my regret, I did not set up a Views count on this question, so I have no way of judging how much interest was generated. Actually, I thought it would be answered right away. RETIRING THE QUESTION:
"Video Assist" is the process that has helped reduce the original dependence on "overnight rushes". A video tape camera is mounted alongside or actually on the movie camera; it runs when the movie camera is running, and it gives a quick view of what the camera has seen. It works best at showing if framing and focus was correct. Other problems could show up after the film is developed, but these two points are locked in from the start.
Jerry Lewis is given credit with coming up with this system during the filming of The Bellboy (1960). He used it as a means of monitoring his own performance. This was a couple of decades ahead of the video camera coming into general use for everybody. For his contribution, he was made an Honorary Member of the Society of Operating Cameramen.
