In the Sally Field television situation comedy "The Flying Nun" Madeleine Sherwood played the supporting role of "Reverend Mother Superior Lydia Placido." Over its three-season run (1967-70), Sherwood appeared in 77 of the series' 82 episodes.
In the 1969 police drama PENDULUM, Sherwood played "Eileen Sanderson," the mother of a rapist-murderer (Robert F. Lyons) freed because his constitutional rights had been violated during his arrest. Director George Schaefer was a television director and producer who, beginning in 1954 during the Golden Age of Television, directed numerous live and taped TV adaptations of Broadway plays for NBC's “Hallmark Hall of Fame.” Schaefer made his feature film directing debut with PENDULUM. The film starred George Peppard, Jean Seberg, and Richard Kiley. Walter Scharf scored the film, but none of his music has been released. During location filming in Washington, DC, in the spring of 1968, Martin Luther King was assassinated. The resulting riots in the capital caused the film company to wrap early and return to Los Angeles. Visible in some shots, buildings are burning and smoke is obvious. PENDULUM was nominated as Best Picture of the Year by the Mystery Writers of America for their annual Edward Allan Poe Awards. Although the film was issued on VHS and laserdisc, it has never had a legitimate DVD release.

1973's WICKED, WICKED was the only film ever shot in Duo-Vision, which used a single strip of 35mm film, with separate images on the left and right sides of the screen divided by a thick black line. In the film, a handyman at a seacoast hotel (Randolph Roberts) wears a monster mask while he kills and dismembers women with blond hair. Tiffany Bolling is a singer, Scott Brady is a detective, and Edd "Kookie" Byrnes plays a lifeguard. Madeleine Sherwood plays "Lenore Caradyne," a longtime resident at the hotel who is continually late with her rent. Longtime television director Richard L. Bare wrote, produced, and directed the film, his last. Philip Springer provided the original score, augmented by organ music from the original score of the 1925 silent film PHANTOM OF THE OPERA played by Ladd Thomas.
