[78-L] [ToNY] Here's another even more oddball 78 album

[Cary Ginell]

Speaking of Westinghouse, they sponsored this 1957 broadcast of Studio One, which featured "The Night America Trembled," a retrospective on the 1938 Mercury Theatre production of "War of the Worlds," which celebrates its 75th anniversary this Wednesday. I had thought that the superb 1975 TV movie "The Night That Panicked America" was the only such show recreating the Orson Welles broadcast. This is a nice production, featuring quite a few familiar TV and film faces who later became popular, including Ed Asner, James Coburn, Warren Beatty, Warren Oates, John Astin, and Vincent Gardenia, all in the same show, which was hosted by old Smokey himself, Edward R. Murrow. Interesting that they didn't mention Welles' name at all during the show. Anyone know why?

And there were the obligatory Westinghouse commercials, featuring Betty Furness.
Fun watching this.
