Shari and Lamb Chop

For a decade commencing in the mid '50s, Shari Lewis used her wit, charm, and skill with ventriloquism to beguile an ever-growing TV audience of appreciative kids. Armed with a gallery of hand puppet companions headed by sassy sheep alter-ego Lamb Chop, she'd become a true pioneer of children's broadcasting, and she'd know a final-years resurgence with a new generation of youngsters in the '90s. Insight into her life and career is offered in this effort from director Lisa D'Apolito ("Love, Gilda"). 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
