"Albert McCleery (30 December 1911 \u2013 13 May 1972) was an American pioneering television producer during the 1950s.He created his innovative Cameo Theatre for television in 1950. A weekly live production, it continued until 1955. On this half-hour series, McCleery offered dramas seen against pure black backgrounds instead of walls of a set. This enabled cameras in the darkness to pick up shots from any angle."@en . "1972-05-13Z"^^ . "1911-12-30Z"^^ .
