This four-episode volume from the golden age of TV drama presents stories from one of the best remembered anthology series of all time. Persuasive and powerful in the new-found television industry, Four Star Playhouse primarily featured alternating performances from Dick Powell, Ida Lupino, Charles Boyer and David Niven.
House For Sale: While looking at an isolated country home, a young woman (Ida Lupino) has an encounter with a maniac killer.
The Man On A Train: Langford (David Niven) is taken aback by a strange run-in with an old friend. Things become even more peculiar when it turns out that the meeting might have been paranormal.
Sound Off My Love: Glamorous Mrs. Andrews (Merle Oberon) is loosing her hearing. Vain to a fault, she refuses to tarnish her "perfect" appearance by wearing a hearing-aid. When she finally concedes to use the device, she "hears" more than she bargained for. Barbara Billingsley guest stars.
The Story Of Emily Cameron: After an automobile accident, filthy rich Emily Cameron (Ida Lupino) is confined to her bed. Guilt-ridden about having caused the accident, her doting husband Jim cares for her every need - but the crash may have taken more than the use of her legs.
Product Description:
Six volumes of vintage episodes from the early General Electric variety program, GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATER, comprise this collection. The show used a revolving cast of contemporary Broadway and Hollywood stars to dramatize literary adaptations, and only increased in popularity when Ronald Reagan became its host in the third season.
