Danger, Dr. Danfield

The Big Show
NBC's lavish 90-minute variety spectacular (1950-52), the network's grand answer to television, presided over by the imperious Tallulah Bankhead with Meredith Willson's orchestra. Each week a who's-who of stage, screen and radio -- Fred Allen, Groucho Marx, Ethel Merman, Jimmy Durante, Bob Hope -- traded songs and barbs.
The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen
Mutual high-seas adventure (1947-48). Captain Philip Carney sailed the 78-foot ketch Scarlet Queen through the South Pacific on errands of trade, rescue and intrigue, narrating from the ship's log. Elliott Lewis starred as Carney, with Ed Max as first mate Red Gallagher.
