What happens
Oldsmobile Music Theatre is an American musical anthology television series that was broadcast on NBC from March 26, 1959, until May 7, 1959. Bill Hayes and Florence Henderson, who were already known as "goodwill salesmen for Oldsmobile", were hosts of the series. The show featured episodes "in which a musical element was woven into the storyline". Episodes ranged from musical comedies to dramas, and none of the music was original with the show. Hayes said, "The show hits that large middle ground among performers — actors who want to sing and singers who want to act." Hayes and Henderson appeared in some of the stories. Guest stars on the series included Carol Lawrence and Roddy McDowall. The Herbie Mann Quartet also sang on the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
