“En 1956, une emission intitulee—fort joliment—“L’antenne magique” touchait a deux genres, a
deux styles. Ce que singnifait bien les sous-titres de chacune de ces series: “Les fantastiques” d’un

de adaptations de nouvelles d’auteurs comme Herbert George Wells, Charles Dickens, Prosper
Merimee et Jean Ray…”
