...tempestuous sky are lowered into place. It is the hit of the show. A mildly didactic narration is supplied by eight-year Veteran Thurl Ravenscroft, who provides off-pageant the voice for television's Tony the Tiger ("Grreeaatt!"). There is a suitably reverent score by Richard Henn, a prolific composer who has scored five feature films...
