Four Star Playhouse

AudienceAudience: 7.3

This show featured four rotating stars, Charles Boyer, David Niven, Ida Lupino, and Dick Powell in individual episodes consisting of everything from comedy to drama.

My take

A golden-age variety show that keeps you guessing—each episode brings a different star and a completely new story, swinging from witty comedies to gripping dramas. Perfect for when you want quality entertainment without the commitment of a series.
