Star Stage IVBC’s Star Stage is a collection of both live and filmed half-hour dra¬ matic shows, the live ones done in New York and the filmed ones in Holly¬ wood. In the up-and-down vein of most anthology dramatic series, they have ranged from so-so to excellent. Best to date was a New York entry, “Cop Without a Badge,” dealing with a young lad’s attempt to “fight City Hall” after making a citizen’s arrest of a hit-and-run driver. The driver turned out to be the city’s political boss and nobody wanted any part of the youngster’s desperate desire to believe that what the law says, the law is. It was a superior bit of dra¬ matics in every sense. Another standout was a film, “On Trial,” with Joseph Cotten underplay¬ ing masterfully as a government prose¬ cutor charged with pinning a verdict of guilty on a seaman who tossed eight men overboard from a lifeboat in or¬ der to save a boatload of women.—D.J. Joseph Cotten, as a U.S. prosecuting at¬ torney, questions victim of sea tragedy. FINE TUNING By Ollie Crawford Robin Hood makes television debut. This is like that other TV show, “Meet Careless Arch¬ er.” • Does this mean that all the little Davy Crocketts will be replaced by Robin Hoodlums? • Television does something to Robin Hood. He finds that his castle has been taken over by a Norman, named Brokenshire. While Robin was away, this Norman stole all his goods and chattels, so he was sort of a chattel rustler. Then Robin has to go to Bobby Sherwood Forest. He comes back from the Cru¬ sades and he has to live in the woods. This was the GI housing of the day. • On TV, Robin gets mixed up with all the serfs except Ben¬ nett. He meets the Sheriff of Nothing-ham, who can’t be a real sheriff because he doesn’t pack a .44. He has to live by poaching deer and eggs and stuff. He finally is saved by an Old Forester—quart size. • Things are so tough, A.T. and T. even takes away his Saxon phone. • Then he meets a soap-powder character named Little John, the giant-sized serf. 19
