3.0 out of 5 stars
two storybook treats with Shirley!,
By Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 100 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Shirley Temple Storybook Collection: "The Terrible Clockman" and "The House of the Seven Gables" (DVD)
Yet another delightful disc packed with two choice episodes from Shirley Temple's anthology series, SHIRLEY TEMPLE'S STORYBOOK (aka "The Shirley Temple Show"). Acting as a precursor to later series like "Faerie Tale Theatre" and Jim Henson's "The Storyteller", SHIRLEY TEMPLE'S STORYBOOK was a big ratings winner for NBC. Temple hosted and also indulged in an occasional starring role, surrounded by an amazing cast of noted Broadway and Hollywood talents.
Both of the episodes on this disc are taken from the 1960-61 season. THE TERRIBLE CLOCKMAN (Season 2 Episode #18): This striking episode is based on the original story by Jules Verne. The villagers of a small Swiss town are terrorised by an evil sorcerer, who twists time and enchants a mechanical monster to stalk the streets. Shirley Temple stars as Gerande, with Eric Portman, Sam Jaffe and David Frankham. THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES (Season 2 Episode #12): Nathaniel Hawthorne's supernatural novel comes to life with Shirley Temple playing Phoebe Pyncheon. When Phoebe goes to stay with her cousins (Agnes Moorehead and Martin Landau) at their gothic mansion, little does she realise the terror and mystery that will befall her... Two great stories from a seldom-remembered series. Recommended. |
