Television
During 1979 Studs Lonigan was produced as a television miniseries featuring Harry Hamlin, Colleen Dewhurst, Brad Dourif, Dan Shor, and Charles Durning. Production Designer Jan Scott won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Art Direction for a Limited Series or a Special. Reginald Rose wrote the adaptation of the trilogy. The miniseries preserves the novel's tragic ending, but humanizes Studs Lonigan's family and friends to a very considerable degree.
