Synopsis
Host-producer Shelly Duvall followed 'Faerie Tale Theater' with updates of American folk stories that blended adventure and whimsy. 'Tales' had big budgets for location filming, name directors (including Michael Lindsay-Hogg and Christopher Guest), original scores (by Ry Cooder, among others) and, of course, stars. Among them: Jamie Lee Curtis (in 'Annie Oakley'), Danny Glover ('John Henry') and Elliott Gould ('Casey at the Bat,' with Howard Cosell narrating).
