The introduction was significant, it gets your attention right away with the words of E.G. Marshall and the voice talent of Norman Rose (as Matthew Maule: the ghost & Holgrave Maule: Matthew's grandson). Bryna Raeburn (as Alice Pyncheon), Arnold Moss (as Colonel Pyncheon & Judge Jaffey Pyncheon), and Staats Costworth (as Clifford Pyncheon) played the roles decently, but not Gothically enough. If you watched the 1940 film version of THE HOUSE OF THE 7 GALBES, starring Vincent Price, the film is more dramatic and less horrifying . Nathaniel Hawthorne's tale is Gothic that combines horror & romance. And that's what I liked about the voice talent of Jada Rowland (as Phoebe Pyncheon). When you have Norman Rose & Jada Rowland in a CBSRMT episode together, you're definitely in for some entertainment! These 2 made their characters have chemistry build up in ACT-3 (especially at the 42-minute 42-second mark). SPECIAL NOTE: The House of the 7 Gables actually exist in Salem, Massachusetts. Kudos to Ian Martin for writing this adaptation. =0]
