Jack Benny contented himself with a repeat film first shown a year ago; Producer Max Liebman tossed off a lackadaisical show starring Maurice Chevalier, Polly Bergen and Dancer Chita Rivera; Wide, Wide World contributed a go-minute thinly disguised commercial for General Motors with a visit to the automakers' new Technical Center in Detroit...
