Angela Lansbury has had numerous career turns, all of them just amazing! She started out as the tragic Sybil Vane in PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. (Singing "Little Yellow Bird"). And, the tarty maid in GASLIGHT....1944.. In tv/ film roles like this one, where her sweetness and sensuality often show up in equal measure - making for delightful drama. LONG, HOT SUMMER with Orson Welles....MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, as the mother from Hell....And, later on - MAME...and finally Jessica Fletcher!! Such a versatile, fine actress - never, ever boring to watch.

[@cynthiawest1962]

I watch Angela Lansbury’s movies and shows over and over. They never get old.

Angela Lansbury is an exceptional actress. 👏

[@janebailey8032]

God bless Angela!! She was no doubt one of the best actors who ever lived!!! RIP Angela..we will miss you and your unexceptional talent!!💝💖

RIP, Angela Lansbury. Thanks for the wonderful childhood memories

Oh, the class and quality of these old TV shows. It's like a whole movie compressed into an half hour. Very well done!

What a treat! What a cast! Thank you!!!

Absolutely love this programme, I adore Dame Angela Lansbury ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mjrussell414]

Ah! Charles Boyer and Angela Lansbury reunited from “Gaslight.” Cool.

Boyer and Niven were two of the four stars behind "Four Star Television" which produced this picture.

I grew up in the 90’s watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Beauty and the Beast on my Grandma’s old vhs. Then Murder She Wrote on daytime tv in the UK. Good times. I believe Dame Angela Lansbury is still going strong at 93! ❤️

[@jett8193]

She's also in "Gaslight" (the 1944 one with Ingrid Bergman), as a flirty maid. Great movie, very worth watching!

[@djs9415]

@@jett8193 That was her first movie. And the way she used her eyes when around her master... Singing up on a balloon when they meet accidentally on the landing. 30 years down the line I still remember the Coy arch Cupid bow pout factor. Very impressive.

You have to see her in the Manchurian Candidate. She played the nastiest wicked woman, evil. Truly she is a great actress.

[@jacquelinejanz8466]

Did you see “Gaslight” with Boyer and Bergman? The ultimate vengeance in my life! I live vicariously from that movie! How perfect . Use his own tactics to catch him and defeat him. That’s me in a nutshell. When God told me to stop taking vengeance I said “but Lord I’m really good at it” I don’t think he accepted my answer.

[@kell4674]

An allegory on the dark side of being the absolute best you can be. Success is not for everyone. There is a lot to be said for just being ordinary. Strange that the three main actors were all very successful in their own right.

[@bthomson]

Angela is so hard working herself it's sort of ironic!

[@RONWOLPA]

According to IMDB ( only source I could find info about The star & the Story ) there are only two seasons : 1st on 1955 and 2nd 1956 (and no season 3 ). IMDB's episodes list does not mention any episode broadcasted on april 14 1955. I googled a lot to know who used to air the series and could not find this information. You mention it was broadcasted by CBS , where did you get this info ?

[@Manushan_Melvin]

She is so cute and beautiful 🥺♥️

[@shelleynobleart]

Terribly cute short! I wasn't aware these shorter stories were made. Were they for theatrical release or for nascent tv play?

[@actionsub]

TV's "Four Star Playhouse" in the early 50's. This series, headed by Dick Powell, Charles Boyer, David Niven, and Ida Lupino as the core of a repertory company that performed a variety of different short plays, grew into Four Star Television, which produced many popular series in the late 50s and early 60s.
