NBC's 1960 anthology series,
The Barbara Stanwyck Show, ran for a single season with 36 episodes produced (only four of which didn't star Stanwyck herself). The series, shown in black-and-white, came from Desilu Studios and earned Stanwyck an Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actress in a Series. Gust stars in the earlier episodes included the likes of Jack Nicholson, Hume Cronyn, Vic Morrow, Yvonne Craig, Ralph Bellamy, James Hong, Marion Ross, Susan Oliver, Dennis Hopper, Michael Ansara, Julie London, Milton Berle and Michael Rennie.
E1 Entertainment, formerly known as Koch Vision, is working with The Archive of American Television to present an
October 13th DVD release of
The Barbara Stanwyck Show - Volume 1. We don't know how many episodes will be included yet, but this will be a 3-disc set costing $39.98 SRP. We expect this set to contain episodes that have been restored and re-mastered, as was the case with a previous collaboration between The Archive and E1/Koch,
Studio One on DVD. That's not certain yet, but it's a good bet. Stay tuned for further info, and in the meantime here's a look at the front of the package:
