Stage 61 disappointment in Wilde spoof on ABC
New York AP reports Stage 61's The Canterville Ghost on ABC proves a disappointment as Oscar Wilde satire becomes broad comedy. Natalie Schafer and Sir Michael Redgrave head a lackluster cast with American leads seen as “blind idiots” while ghostly antics fail to spark. NBC airings of Shipstads and Johnson ice follies precede ABC announcing a major schedule shakeup dropping six low rated shows and reshuffling slots for new programming in January.
