Dear Sir
Searching for the title to an old Jack Kelly made for TV movie. All we have on it is the story line. If anyone reconizeses it or can locate it in the arcives please post it on this website. We have checked a filmography and a biography of the actor but to no avial. Here is the stroy line: Four men board a train in Chicago and ride it to Los Angeles. In their suit cases is a put together printing press. They have adjorning suites and print up money of a foreign contry with the dictators picture on it. They toss the printing press out piece by piece along the way. Upon ariaving in Los Angeles they pick up a newspaper and see that the leader has been assassinated and all the money is declared worthless. They then board the tain back to Chicago. This may have been a ninety minute show for Kraft Theater or Thriller or Suspense type of movie. Have contacted TV Guide but no response from them. Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.
Thank you -- jimr

You actually don't think the fact that Kelly's sister was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress should be mentioned in an article about him? One of the most interesting and talked-about facets of Kelly's life was the fact that he found himself dropped into competition with a phenomenally popular star at the beginning of what amounted at the time to a national craze (James Garner) eight shows into the series and was roundly overshadowed, and that he'd already spent his life in the shadow of his older sister Nancy, who'd been leading lady in top-drawer movies in the 1930s and was nominated for an Oscar the year before "Maverick" began production. To simply omit any reference to this whatsoever in an article about Kelly seems irresponsible, bordering on vandalism. As for including some detail about "Maverick" in an article about Kelly, it was not only his professional height but the only reason he's noticed at all today, to the paltry extent that he is--if "Maverick" had never been filmed, you'd doubtless be challenging the existence of any article about Kelly on the grounds that he lacks the importance to merit one.

Wikipedia doesn't allow this to be posted as an external link because it's a "fan site" but the most comprehensive lode of information on Jack Kelly and his career that I've ever seen, where the curator has spent years digging up any information, photo, or clip of Kelly and posting it online, is a site that you can readily Google called "The Tall Dark Stranger There - Jack Kelly." Warning, though, if you're interested in Kelly or the "Maverick" TV series, you'll spend countless hours sifting through this particular site. And you'll be shocked at how much work Kelly actually pumped out in the twilight of his career as it down-spiraled into hosting game shows and commercial voice-overs. There's also a new biography of Kelly that's mentioned on the site as well. Nodios ( talk) 18:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Wondering if it would be possible to break up the filmography into separate tables for Films and TV appearances. Right now having them all jumbled together makes it a bit harder to follow. Most of the other bio pages I see for actors do break these up into two separate tables.
Also, some of Kelly's significant roles seem to be left out. I believe he had a recurring role on quite a few episodes of the Hardy Boys/ Nancy Drew Mysteries, a show that may have gone under the radar to adults in the audience but I know as a tween I never missed an episode. That should be added in. TheBlinkster ( talk) 16:28, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
The article states, "When the Kellys were children, their mother would not serve them meat or give medication when they were sick." What does this mean? No meat served at any time, or no meat only when the children were sick? Mrpaulin ( talk) 03:10, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
