Four Star Playhouse is an American television anthology series that ran from 1952 to 1956. Four Star Playhouse was owned by Four Star International. Its episodes ranged anywhere from surreal mysteries, such as "The Man on the Train", to light comedies, such as "The Lost Silk Hat". The original premise was that Charles Boyer, Ida Lupino, David Niven, and Dick Powell would take turns starring in episodes. However, several other performers took the lead from time to time, including Ronald Colman and Joan Fontaine.

This was such fun, and perfect for Niven.
Some of the world s best actors🇮🇪🙏
Yes! I see many of these guys often in old TV shows, especially westerns! Fun to see them.
A lot of TV favourites in this episode.
Douglas Fowley as the Police Lt. Most usually his role was as the bad guy and yes, that's just the same for brusin' Bob Wilke! I see Frank Ferguson at the bar. He was in many westerns, and usually was a good guy, but here he's not good. He was the grocery store owner Mr. Fowley in the early episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. The guy at the bar that wants to punch Niven's Nose is Richard Reeves. He was always a tough guy, even in when he was in movies with The Three Stooges! At Sailor Ed's I notice a poster on the wall above the cigarette machine next to where Bob Wilke is standing. A season 1 episode of Four Star Playhouse, "The Knockout", starred Broderick Crawford and Ron Hargrave . Ron Hargrave played the part of boxer Bobby Greggory. Yes, 2 Gs! and his opponent is boxer Fred Stevens. That poster is recycled from that season 1 episode, because I can see that it shows STEVENS vs. GREGGORY! Ha! This episode, "The Book", is a good short story, with a good cast, lots of fun!
@@jeffgreen7499You sir, are an astute observer! And a trove of knowledge. Very interesting comment.🌹
@@miapdx503 Thank you! I enjoy seeing all these actors!
Bob (Robert) Wilke who played George was in hundreds of tv programs and movies. In the few roles where he played good guys he really came across as someone who should have made it bigger as an actor. He even has a warm smile when he was allowed to use it.
very good one.
Thank you honey
Nice one!
Good
Imagine going to the library and getting into so much trouble! The writer's imagination is interesting. 🤔
Superior writing and acting to anything contemporary.
