Description
Four Star Playhouse was a radio dramatic anthology series in the United States. The 30-minute program was broadcast on NBC beginning in July 1949 and was sustaining. It lasted only three months.
The show’s title came from the fact that it was built around “four major film stars, each of whom was featured in turn in the weekly presentations.” They were Fred MacMurray, Loretta Young, Rosalind Russell and Robert Cummings.
