Re: TV composer Robert Prince dead at 78

"The Name of the Game" was a 90 minute drama featuring 3 lead actors rotating as the star of the story each week. They all worked in a high-profile magazine publisher's office. The series ran from 1968 to 1971.

Gene Barry played the publisher of "People" Magazine (the actual "People" magazine did not exist when the program was broadcast) who covered assignments involving the rich and famous. Tony Franciosa played a reporter who took a lot of chances in covering his assignments for "People". Robert Stack played a reporter of a crime magazine from the same publisher and investigated crime figures in his stories. Susan Saint James appeared each week, playing the administrative assistant at the office who worked for all 3.

Robert Prince's theme for "The Name of the Game" is on the "Television's Greatest Hits" CD/tape compilations.

The pilot tv movie was titled "Fame is the Name of the Game".
