Four Star Television was a company found to utilize the talents of
Dick Powell, Charles Boyer, Rosalind Russell, and Joel McCrea. In fact,
the last two hardly contributed and David Niven was co-opted with some
assistance from Ida Lupino. The main drama output was channeled into
'The Dick Powell Show' which was highly regarded. Not only was a high
standard of production maintained but several pilots were featured
including those for 'Burke's Law' and Saints and Sinners`
Powell last hosted the show for the January 1, 1963, airing. He died the
following day after a short bout with cancer. Introductions he had already
filmed for future shows were removed at his family's request, and a series
of guest stars taped those introductions, a few of whom are noted below.
Milton Berle hosted 'Charlie's Duet'
John Wayne hosted 'The Third Side Of A Coin'
Ronald Reagan hosted 'The Last of the Private Eyes'

This series really was DICK POWELL's finest hour. I give this "4 Star" series
5 stars in all categories.
Production Values - HIGH, Script and Acting -THE BEST with fine list of Guest
Stars. It's oozing with quality!
A pity he died during the production. There is NOTHING on the box of this
quality these days. [DM]
