Wonderful Town on TV Falls Short Despite Charm
A television version of the musical Wonderful Town starring Rosalind Russell is criticized for proscenium style and stagebound direction. The reviewer praises some numbers though calls the production unimaginative with long camera setups and excessive onstage movement. Remarks on Art Carney and Ruth McKenney’s source stories are mixed, noting period flavor but overall tepid reception of the broadcast.
