The 20th Century Fox Hour

The 20th Century Fox Hour was a CBS network drama anthology series that aired from October 5, 1955 to June 12, 1957.

Presenting both originals and remakes, the show was telecast on Wednesday nights at 10:00 pm, alternating each week with "The U.S. Steel Hour."

Many of the programs were shortened versions of classic 20th Century Fox films that were remade with a far lower budget than the originals.

The show was presented by Joseph Cotten (from 1955 to 1956) and Robert Sterling (from 1956 to 1957).

Some of the shows in this series were restored, remastered and shown on the Fox Movie Channel in 2002 under the title "Hour of Stars" (which was its title when the series was originally syndicated after 1957).
