"The Grey Nurse Said Nothing" is a television play written by Sumner Locke Elliott. It was based on elements of the Shark Arm case but is mostly fictitious. The play was screened in the US in 1959[1] as an episode of Playhouse 90. It was performed on American and Australian television.[2]

Plot

A shark is captured and throws up an identifiable human arm, with a tattoo. It is presumed the arm belongs to a boatman. A local tycoon is arrested for murder.

Witnesses at the trial include the tycoon's alcoholic wife, whom the boatman tried to seduce, and a local school teacher in love with the boatman.

Cast

Production

The play was set in Australia, a location that was uncommon on American TV at the time.[2]

The show had a cast of 120. Sumner Locke Elliot provided the sounds of a Kookaburra because none were available; he imitated one in the studio.[3]

Reception

The Los Angeles Times called it a "suspenseful telecast" in which the cast "gave universally good performances."[4]

The Chicago Daily Tribune called it "thoroughly enjoyable".[5]
