Adam Williams and Tracey Roberts are cast in the romantic leads in "High Diver," one of three stories in the film. uccn UNITED Artist's latest release, "Queen For A Day," uses as its framework the well-known and very popular radio program of the same name. Within this framework a trilogy of short stories by three outstanding American authors is deftly woven — Faith Baldwin's "The Gossamer World," costarring Darren McGavin and Phyllis Avery as the devoted and happy young married couple; John Ashworth's O. Henry Memorial Award winner, "High Diver," with Adam Williams playing the courageous young football player who does the perilous 110-foot dive to earn money for an education, and Tracey Roberts as the carnival dancer who loves him; and Dorothy Parker's "Horsie," a story of an unloved, homely infant nurse played by Edith Meiser. The film marks the first actual combination of a regularly heard radio and TV program with a screen play. Jack Bailey, the master of ceremonies for the radio show, is in his usual good form at the microphone interviewing the candidates for "Queen" and sending the winner off in a royal flourish laden with gifts. The story shifts back and forth between the radio appearances of the contestants and their respective life stories. A Robert Stillman production. Screenplay is by Seton I. Miller.
