War of the Worlds (TV Series)

Eye for an Eye (1988)

Rita Tuckett: Miss Daly

Quotes 

• Miss Daly : I told Mr. Welles what happened that Halloween night, but for whatever reasons of his own he did it differently.

  Harrison Blackwood : You spoke with Orson Welles?

  Miss Daly : Yes, I spent quite a lot of time with him. Orson was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. Slender as a reed. I was working on the newspaper in those days, and he and the two other men came out here to do research for the radio program.

  Harrison Blackwood : Excuse me, did you say two other men?

  Miss Daly : From the government.

  Harrison Blackwood : And what were they doing with him?

  Miss Daly : From what Mr. Welles told me, the government hired him to do this program to divert attention from what really happened.

  Harrison Blackwood : Do you mean the whole "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast was a government coverup?

  Miss Daly : No, no. The government wanted to protect the people. Mr. Welles was a patriot.
