perhaps the original "single parent" television comedy. rich, handsome Uncle Bentley (forsythe) raises his orphaned niece Kelly (corcoran). series is loaded with mid-50s teenage angst, capers & madcap stunts. Uncle Bentley always had the sage wisdom & big buck$ to solve the problem, even though quasi-rebellious Kelley would never admit it till the end of show .the episodes were always sappy, saccharine & predictable. easy to watch for modicum of insight into what the era was like, or what is was supposed to be like. rent it, don't buy it

leigh & beatty--together again for 1st time !
15 February 1999
Warning: Spoilers
leigh is truly beautiful. a youthful beatty is saddled with a hokey italian accent. the performance to watch is the deliciously campy 'countessa' played by lotte lenya. the final scene is most dramatic as the spurned leigh ac quires a new lover and the screen "fades to black".
