Crosby television movie High Tor earns mixed praise
A TV airing of High Tor with Bing Crosby draws praise for music and charm but critics fault the flimsy plot. Julie Andrews and Hans Deareid are highlighted as standout, while Everett Sheame and Laurence Olivier in Richard III also receive notice. Marilyn Monroe’s pairing with Olivier is called a waste of talent. Betty Hutton and Tesumy Leconelli are briefly mentioned in music notes.
