    • Trivia
      The dance sequence is adapted, not from the original "Feathertop", but from "The Scarecrow", 'Percy Mackaye''s 1908 dramatization of the story. There is no dance sequence in Nathaniel Hawthorne's story.
    • Quotes

      Major Whitby: [Polly and Feathertop are dancing a minuet to ghostly music which only they can hear] How can one dance without music?

      Mr. Bell: 'Tis the latest fashion from Paris, obviously.

    Sweet witchcraft tale
    That's another family tale, this time speaking of a witch who brings an ordinary scarecrow to life in order to impersonate a noble man. Naive, I admit, but enjoyable little story that permits you to spend twenty four minutes without any boredom. And you have in this episode an early Nathalie Wood's performance. That's not my favourite GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATRE show episode ever, maybe because the directing and acting are a bit too theatrical but because if this, ironically, it's even more worth watching. I also would say that was made mainly for kids, not grown up persons without their children besides them. Yes, it's a piece of curiosity you deal with in this lost episode which, I repeat, deserves to be seen only in entertainment purposes. Ideal for Christmas holidays.
