Episode of the TV series CROSSROADS first aired on 11/11/1955.
Lloyd Bridges plays an honest, hardworking bank clerk who embezzles money in a desperate attempt to pay his wife's hospital bills. With Gene Lockhart as his pastor, and Tina Carver.
CROSSROADS is a TV anthology series based on true stories from clergy of different denominations. 78 episodes (1955-57) explored deep spiritual themes. It was shown on ABC to both secular and christian audiences the first season on Friday night following "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," and aired in syndication the second season.
Both IMDB and Wikipedia report that James Dean appears in a crowd scene or as an elevator operator. This seems unlikely since Dean died five weeks before the air date, and he would not have done such a cameo at the height of his career.
