Behind Closed Doors is an American drama series set during the Cold War, hosted by and occasionally starring Bruce Gordon in the role of Commander Matson. The series, which aired on NBC from October 2, 1958, to April 9, 1959, examines how the erstwhile Soviet Union obtained American missile technology and suggests ways to prevent future espionage. Behind Closed Doors is based on the files and experiences of Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacharias, who provides comments at the end of each part. Behind Closed Doors, produced by Screen Gems, replaced Jackie Cooper's sitcom The People's Choice, followed the NBC quiz show Twenty-One, and preceded The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show. The Pat Boone Chevy Show on ABC and Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater western anthology series on CBS were its competitors.
