What's on TV? Tuesday, January 7, 1958

Three late-night movies stand out among today's programming. The Petrified Forest (WBZ) and King Kong (WJAR) are two classics that people might have stayed up late to watch. The third one is more unusual, however: Whispering Ghosts (WGAN), a 1942 mystery that stars Milton Berle. Berle had already made a name for himself on radio, although his radio fame would grow as the 1940s progressed, leading to his transition into television. His TV star is already dimming by 1958 (although he remains a big name in the clubs); this is an interesting opportunity to see him before his rise, but after his fall. This week's listings come from the New England edition.
