THE DICK POWELL SHOW

 

 

Aka 'The Dick Powell Theatre'

 

A Four Star Production

 

US anthology drama series 1961-63 60 episodes x 60 min bw

 

Hosted by Dick Powell

 

 

Four Star Television was a company found to utilize the talents of

Dick Powell, Charles Boyer, Rosalind Russell, and Joel McCrea. In fact,

the last two hardly contributed and David Niven was co-opted with some

assistance from Ida Lupino. The main drama output was channeled into

'The Dick Powell Show' which was highly regarded. Not only was a high

standard of production maintained but several pilots were featured

including those for `Burke's Law' and `Saints and Sinners'.

 

Powell last hosted the show for the January 1, 1963, airing. He died the

following day after a short bout with cancer. Introductions he had already

filmed for future shows were removed at his family's request, and a series

of guest stars taped those introductions, a few of whom are noted below.

 

Milton Berle

hosted

'Charlie's Duet'

 

John Wayne

hosted

'The Third Side Of A Coin'

 

Ronald Reagan

hosted

'The Last of the Private Eyes'

 

Syndication title 1966-67 "Theatre I".
