Bachelor Father (1957)
"leave to beaver" sans june (no wally either)
perhaps the original "single parent" television comedy. rich, handsome Uncle Bentley (forsythe) raises his orphaned niece Kelly (corcoran). series is loaded with mid-50s teenage angst, capers & madcap stunts. Uncle Bentley always had the sage wisdom & big buck$ to solve the problem, even though quasi-rebellious Kelley would never admit it till the end of show .the episodes were always sappy, saccharine & predictable. easy to watch for modicum of insight into what the era was like, or what is was supposed to be like. rent it, don't buy it
The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961)
leigh & beatty--together again for 1st time !
leigh is truly beautiful. a youthful beatty is saddled with a hokey italian accent. the performance to watch is the deliciously campy 'countessa' played by lotte lenya. the final scene is most dramatic as the spurned leigh ac quires a new lover and the screen "fades to black".
