Family Theater: Rip Van Winkle

Family Theater presents Frank Faye. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated brings you the familiar American classic Rip Van Winkle, starring Frank Faye. It happened about 200 years ago in the little Dutch village of Spookendorf at the foot of the Catskills.

Those ancient mountains shrouded in mist and mystery. On the ragged edge of Scukendorf lived the Van Winkle family, Rip Van Winkle, Dame Van Winkle, and their two children, Judy and Rip Jr. The house was run down, the barn was run down, and the farm was run down.

The only thing that would never run down was Dame Winkle's tongue and Rip Van Winkle's rocking chair. Hey, is it good for nothing get up out of that squeaky old rocking chair off the porch?

Go out and cut the hay! No, don't hurt me, my dear. I've been thinking about cutting that hay for a long time. I've been studying the best way to do it. I've been looking for that scythe two years now.

Well, of course you can't find a scythe. You wouldn't have the energy. Too much trouble. No, you just dropped it down on the ground somewhere and let it lie there. I guess I did. Yes.

The laziest man in the village they call you. Rip Van Winkle, the townloper. Oh, why did I ever have to marry you? Because my dear, I am a charming man, a gentle person. Family Theatre presents Frank Faye!
