Radio and Television review of The Saturday Night Revue
Critics fault the Eddie Albert hosted show for flimsy humor and stale acts while praising Dave Barry’s impressions. Ben Blue’s routines are labeled vulgar and derivative though Barry shows early promise with impressions of Godfrey Churchill and Liberace. A new female singer delivers a middling number about shot put.

Skeptical Review of Betty Bruce Puppets and Saturday Night Revue
The critique notes a muscular dance by Betty Bruce and praises Walter and O Rourke for ingenious puppetry. It questions puppet performers replacing actors and offers mixed feelings on the Sauter Finnegan orchestra. The Hollywood produced Saturday Night Revue is marked as sleazy with mis cues and subpar camera work.
