ART CARNEY MEETS PETER AND THE WOLF
STARRING
Art Carney ... Himself
The Baird Puppets
A 1958 television special entitled “Art Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf”
Starring, naturally, Art Carney, along with the Bil Baird Marionettes
Originally broadcast 30 Nov 1958 on ABC
This classic children's tale, tells of a wolf who meets a boy lost in the woods
and tries to convince him that he's not as bad as he's made out to be
The show boasted an original storyline, in which Carney interacted with some talking marionette animals,
notably the wolf, who was the troublemaker of the group.
This first half was presented as a musical, with adapted music from Lieutenant Kijé and
other Prokofiev works which had special English lyrics fitted into them.
The program then segued into a complete performance of Peter and the Wolf, played exactly as written
by the composer, and "mimed" by both "human" and "animal" marionettes.
The conclusion of the program again featured Carney interacting with the animal marionettes.
