What Dreamboat Is About
In Claude Binyon’s 1952 comedy, Clifton Webb plays Thornton Sayre, a respected college professor who has never mentioned that in his youth he was Bruce Blair, romantic hero of the silent screen. When his old films start turning up on a weekly television programme, he decides his privacy and his academic standing are both under threat and sets out to have the broadcasts stopped. The difficulty is that the show is hosted by his former co-star, who has entirely different plans. What the film is really about is how the studios felt in 1952 about television, and it is not subtle on the point. Ginger Rogers plays the hostess, with Anne Francis and Jeffrey Hunter in support.
