"Beloved Stranger" is a 1955 American television play, which aired as an episode of the Goodyear Playhouse.
The Independent thought the plot was clearly inspired by A Letter to Three Wives but felt "the story was suspenseful and the acting and directing was superior almost anything seen in recent weeks."
