'''''Climax!''''' (later known as '''''Climax Mystery Theater''''') is an American television [[anthology series]] that aired on [[CBS]] from 1954 to 1958. The series was hosted by [[William Lundigan]] and later co-hosted by [[Mary Costa]]. It was one of the few CBS programs of that era to be broadcast in color, using the massive TK-40A color cameras pioneered and manufactured by [[RCA]], and used primarily by CBS's rival network, [[NBC]] (the broadcasting division of RCA). Many of the episodes were performed and broadcast live, but, although the series was transmitted in color, only black-and-white [[Kinescope#Eastman Television Recording Camera|''kinescope'']] copies of some episodes survive to the present day. The series finished at #22 in the [[Nielsen ratings]] for the 1955–1956 season and #26 for 1956–1957.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://classictvguide.com/tvratings/index.htm|title=ClassicTVguide.com: TV Ratings|publisher=classictvguide.com|access-date=2018-03-14}}</ref>

==Production==
In February 1955, [[Martin Manulis]] became the producer, replacing [[Bretaigne Windust]]. The trade publication ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' reported that the change in producers would be accompanied by a change in format. It said, "The sponsor, Chrysler, has been discontent with the restrictive suspense-horror formula," and that future episodes would be "designed to accent adventure and emotional climaxes rather than stark melodrama".<ref name=v>{{cite magazine |date=February 16, 1955 |page=21 |title=Chrysler's 'Lay Off The Scary Stuff' Cues 'Climax' Story Switch |magazine=Variety |url=https://archive.org/details/variety197-1955-02/page/n177/mode/2up?view=theater |accessdate=April 4, 2023}}</ref>

==Notable episodes==
In 1954, the ''Climax!'' episode [[Casino Royale (Climax!)|"Casino Royale"]] featured  secret agent [[James Bond]] in a television adaptation of [[Ian Fleming]]'s novel ''[[Casino Royale (novel)|Casino Royale]]''. It starred [[Barry Nelson (actor)|Barry Nelson]] as American secret agent "Jimmy Bond" and [[Peter Lorre]] as the villain Le Chiffre. It was the first screen adaptation of a James Bond novel, made before [[Eon Productions]] acquired the Bond film rights. Eon would later obtain the rights to ''Casino Royale'' in the late 1990s. This adaptation is available on [[DVD]] as a bonus feature on the [[MGM]] DVD release of the [[Casino Royale (1967 film)|1967 film adaptation]] of the novel.

The only other episode of ''Climax!'' available on DVD is [[Gore Vidal]]'s adaptation of [[Robert Louis Stevenson]]'s ''[[The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]'', retitled on ''Climax!'' as "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde".<ref>{{Citation|last=Reisner|first=Allen|title=Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde|date=1955-07-28|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0394419/|others=Michael Rennie, Cedric Hardwicke, Mary Sinclair|access-date=2018-03-14}}</ref> It stars [[Michael Rennie]], [[Sir Cedric Hardwicke]] and [[Lowell Gilmore]]. It is available in the DVD box set ''Classic Sci-Fi TV—150 Episodes'' from Mill Creek Entertainment.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}

In an earlier episode of ''Climax!'', an adaptation of [[Raymond Chandler]]'s ''[[The Long Goodbye (novel)|The Long Goodbye]]'', actor [[Tris Coffin|Tristram Coffin]], playing a dead body, arose in-shot and walked offstage. The event was widely covered in the media of the day, later becoming an [[urban legend]] that was attributed to Peter Lorre and the aforementioned adaptation of ''Casino Royale''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/deadman.asp|title=Death Takes a Powder|website=Snopes|access-date=1 June 2010}}</ref>
