1959 Oscar Parade Lacks Sparkle Says Fred Danzig
Fred Danzig criticizes the 31st Academy Awards telecast as flat and tedious on NBC-TV, noting excessive star power but little suspense or drama. He calls for more lively entertainment and jokes in future shows as schedules shift for CBS NBC and ABC programs. The piece references channel lineups, sponsor changes, and upcoming TV moves for Zsa Zsa Gabor and other stars.
