TV review - "DuPont Show of the Week - Legend of Lylah Clare" (1963) ***

 The origin of the 1968 Robert Aldrich film. Franklin Schaffner's direction is more restrained and less fun than Aldrich but the material is bonkers and Tuesday Weld stunningly good - she got madness and is perfect as the young starlet going mad. It's a silly story but everyone commits - Weld but also Alfred drake, Boss Hogg as the studio head.
