The Susskind influence had its drawbacks: too many of his shows were $200,000 reproductions...
...Du Pont Show of the Month (CBS, 8-9:30 p.m.). A remake of Actress-Author Ruth Gordon's autobiographical play, Years Ago, tells about a stage-struck teen-ager who fights her parents for a crack at Broadway. Sandra (Gypsy) Church stars as the young Ruth, Robert (Music Man) Preston as her father...
