Beginning in 1955, Hallmark Hall of Fame has been a series of specials

(appearing four to eight times a year throughout the 1960s
The Hallmark Hall of Fame was launched on Christmas Eve 1951, with the world premiere

of Amahl and the Night Visitors, an original opera by Gian Carlo Menotti.

live performances in the 350 years since it had been written.

Ep 30.02 Hallmark Hall of Fame: DEAR LIAR
15-Apr-1981
Executive producer David Susskind
Produced by Andrew Susskind
Adapted by Jerome Kilty
Based upon the correspondence between George Bernard Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell.
Directed by Gordon Rigsby
starring
Jane Alexander and Edward Herrmann
Summary:
Playwright George Bernard Shaw and actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell began

exchanging letters in 1899, when Shaw was beginning to have success as a

playwright and "Mrs. Pat" reigned in the English theater. Taken by her beauty and talent,

the married Shaw "fell head over heels in love" and, in 1911, wrote "Pygmalion"--with

her in mind as Eliza Doolittle. Their preparations and heated rehearsals for that play dominate

Act I of this one, which finds Mrs. Pat apprehensive about playing a teen-age flower girl and

picky about her costar. "If you attempt this play on the one-star system,"

retorts Shaw, "nothing, not even my genius--can save you." In the concluding act,

their letters touch on World War I; their quarrels over her intention

to publish the correspondence; and their disparate fortunes during the 1930s.

Ep 30.03 Hallmark Hall of Fame: CASEY STENGEL
06-May-1981
Executive producer, David Susskind
Produced by Andrew Susskind
Written by David and Sidney Carroll
Directed by Nick Havinga
Hosted by George C. Scott
starring
Charles Durning ...... Casey Stengel
William Duell ...... Bob Daly
Summary:
Casey Stengel earned a niche in baseball's Hall of Fame by managing the

Yankees to 10 pennants and seven world series triumphs from 1949 to 1960.

But it was his witty and baffling syntax that made him a favorite with sportswriters and fans.

Bits of "Stengelese" highlight a monologue set at a 1969 banquet, where the "Ol' Perfesser"

reminisces about his career. Among his topics: his great Yankee teams,

his lovably pathetic Mets, and growing old ("most people my age are dead").

Summary:
In 1975, after 14 frustrating years teaching in public schools, Marva Collins

opened the Westside Preparatory School--in her own home--on Chicago's

depressed West Side. Hoping to create an educational environment where the

basics came first (and frivolity was banished altogether), Collins faced problems

from the outset: low enrollment, high bills, bureaucratic snafus, and, most daunting,

the skepticism of her charges' parents. This presentation recounts the story of the

school's trying first year, and along the way, profiles a singular teacher who tempers

old-fashioned strictness with praise, patience, and inspiration.

in particular, the self-righteous archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, who is not above

Summary:
A phlegmatic London barrister defends one Leonard Vole, a "nice, harmless chap"

who's on trial for the murder of a widow who had taken a shine to him. The circumstantial

evidence against Vole is strong, especially since he's unemployed and stands to inherit

a considerable sum from the victim. And to further complicate the defense,

the only person who can provide an alibi is Vole's wife Christine, who

has agreed to be a witness for the prosecution.
