This is one of the last award shows my grandfather watched before he died. He was so amazed by satellite tv. The thought that a tv show could be beamed around the world from the US to Australia was amazing to him. He was the first person in his street to buy a tv in 1956 -not cos he was a show off, but because he loved the idea of 'the cinema in your own home!' He would have loved the internet so much. Thanks for posting this wonderful bit of history. Edit: that ensemble of Raquel Welch's! Girl knows how to make an entrance. Fantastic. I have 2, 1 in silver, thanks! :-)
I'm in Brisbane, Australia, in my 50's and admittedly saw a few of these Academy Awards on TV. A different time and world. Saw the legends of screen, vaguely remember the moon landing, learnt and could calculate in binary at high school. Literally grew up with computers and one of the few who appreciates technology and how it improved our lives, bringing the world together. Just like the Silver Screen and Cinema, it brought people together, it entertained us and now we have a generation who don't even know about the Hollywood of old and take our technology all for granted. They're using the tech now in fact to destroy us. Why? PS. Do note the most elegant Raquel Welch at the end of the clip. Thanks for the memories and RIP.

"I really love the Oscars in the good old days. They don't mean as much anymore" Someone will write something similar 25 years from now about the 2023 Oscars.
@@danielleevans3323 I doubt it. I can say that the 90s and early 2000s also provided us with a decent amount of glamour and excitement as well. Right now the content and the arts have grown stale. Music is cheap and everything is commercially driven. Celebrities politicize everything and display their worst habits in the public sphere. You did not expect this from the classical generation.
@Bored Orange Oh no they won't! There is NOTHING mysterious or perfumed or glamorous about people always looking like they just stepped off an 8 hour shift on a garbage truck or just stepped out of a frat house with their mouths! It can't slip much lower than it is today!
What beautiful music, and those fantastic gowns which all the ladies looked so spectacular in. Rachel Welsh looked wonderful as usual, so sorry to hear of her passing last week. R. I. P 🙏🙏
An elegance which is lost today. I found the video both beautiful and sad in a way. To see all these stars that have past, it reminded me of how we are all getting old. Thank you for making available on UA-cam.

I am 33 years old and it hurts, to see the stars of the days back than. Most of these celebrities are dead and a lot of the youth nowadays do not know anyone of them. Time flies and in a few decades I am an old woman and stars like Julie Andrews, Meryl Streep or Jack Nicholson are gone forever. Hurts.

I hope so much you might consider Meryl Streep has STILL got it.....I was stunned when I read your comment thinking I didn't hear so in the news. So now, I'm thinking you meant another actress? ( Just like getting to the check out line in a grocery store you realize you actually picked up smooth peanut butter and not the crunchy one you saw). The other lady Julie and the man Jack are also still alive and well. It seems like last year I finally saw the Princess Diaries 2...Anne Hathaway is really routing for Julie to be in the Princess Diaries 3. (This is written in Newsweek via internet).
A very classy Academy Awards Ceremony, in Color! Those were the best of the last days of the Golden Age of Hollywood! Most of them are gone now. This was 56 years ago! Incredible, how fast time has gone by!
If you haven't watched it many years then how would you know that they don't do pretty much the same. That was what struck me, how similar they were with stale jokes that in 50 years from now most people won't understand. But Bob said some of the exact same things that Kimmel and other hosts have been saying for years, like how elegant everyone is dressed despite being the most overrated people on Earth.
This is a great upload, the quality is so good, you could almost be there. It was a much more serene, slow paced era, everyone forced to wait and listen to the band before the curtain raise, and the cars were all classic and classy. No phones, no social media, one channel, and alot of 40s and 50s icons. It must have been great to be a star back then.

Wow, so great to see so many of the stars of that day! I was 8 yrs old watching this on tv. So true that Hollywood has gone downhill since the glamour and polite elegance that was the norm for that era. Sad.

Sadly the introduction of the internet while offering endless entertainment options caused the demise of tv in general as a result. They way it’s developed also the demise of respect and courtesy with manners completely out the door.
@@carpesixties258 yeah. i grew up watching him. i know hes "iconic" and did great things for our troops, but hes one of the least funny people ive ever heard.
Everyone's right, he's not really that funny. Johnny Carson never really like him because unlike Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams, he relies too much on his writers and I felt like he was reciting his jokes from a script rather making them sound spontaneous.
Raquel Welch is just the most beautiful woman ever. The standard of beauty. As a kid without a single sexual thought in my mind I had great affection for her.
Did anybody see her playing the nurse doctor in Myra Breckenridge? God she really had her way with this cowboy stud who came into her office for an exam.. what you did with him must have been recording annals of medical history
you'd be a big, sexist, pig, nowadays for saying what your saying....lol. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. Like nothing is an exaggeration nowadays.
Sure…. if you say so. “My eyes are busy”? that’s when you can get away with sexual-harassment and it’s completely normal and excepted. I love how people always like to look back in time and say oh the good old days, but the good all days weren’t so good after all.
Back in the day when watching the Academy Awards was entertaining and non-political. True movie STARS unlike what we have now. Those that are long gone may they continue to rest in peace.

That was nice they mentioned Andy Devine, His legendary voice was due to an injury he recieved as a boy in Kingman AZ. The structure that he fell in and impaled his throat is still standing, and the longest road in town is named after him. If you can't remember hes voice, I think he was the Frier Tuck Badger in the Disney Animation, Robin Hood. and many westerns.

It's fascinating to see how the opening of the Oscars has changed; today we have interminable red carpet arrivals covered on the E channel and the networks interviewing actors and actresses ad infinitum about their designer gowns, jewelry, accessories, etc. while in 67, the stars were unapproachable, except for still photographers. It's also interesting to see how many stars changed spouses after these awards- Dick Van Dyke, Steve McQueen, Raquel Welch, Glenn Ford, Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave and Alan Arkin all re-married. Also sad to see the luminaries who have passed- Rock Hudson, Robert Mitchum, Walter Matthau, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, McQueen, Mike Nichols, Patricia Neal and Jimmy Stewart.

We need to return to the theatres/cinemas after covid is long gone. Life must go on. Loved going to see the latest releases at our local cinema. Watching on a tv at home is just not the same.

@@Eructation1 You don't actually believe the globalist psychopaths that unleashed the phony pLandemic on the world are going to allow you to return to "normal", do you???? If so - you need to educate yourself sheep.
1967, back when a modicum of class was associated with the event, unlike today... or even the last several decades for that matter. Raquel Welch was stunning, as usual.
What a magical moment in time so many stars looking so handsome and glamorous. People who could only be seen on the movie screen by most suddenly come to life in front of their adoring fans making it a wondrous night to remember actually seeing all those actors and actresses walk by.
brooke hanley, so you liked it when a woman wore a hideous lime green jumpsuit with white vinyl boots, and felt her eyeshadow needed to match the color of her clothes?
Wow, I used to love watching as a kid. Everyone wasn’t so self righteous and the host was actually funny. Those days are long gone. Now it’s an award show just for there own because no one cares anymore. All good things must come to an end. It just had an air of class that eludes us now. Sigh
I'd say the opposite... ! THOSE people were the REAL stars. Inaccessible. Nowadays, they're "just" celebrities, often vulgar ones, they give their opinion on everything, you can even chat with some of them on Twitter.
Agreed. So much pretention beneath all of that plastic in most all of the prominent celebrities, and yes, now it is simply 'celebrity', often vulgar with no class and far too much spewing of ignorant opinions. You can see accounts that their lives were often sordid train wrecks even back in the day but most could at least maintain some dignity in public, even though that isn't much more than most of us expect or expected of our children when in public.
Truly a celebration of the silver screen. This event beamed around the world, brought us closer together. The best of today, I'm sorry to say, in many ways fails in comparison to the calibre and charisma of the screen legends. Thank you to the contributor and to UA-cam for extending and continuing the legacy. So sad not to have such talent and class around anymore. So called progress! Bob Hope was a brilliant MC of the day.. with his sharp, witty and smooth style. ...and Raquel Welch at the end, elegance and class to the very end. RIP.
So great to see so many stars when they were young and vibrant. So sad that it makes me feel so old. I've learned to follow Indie films to find the best films. But, I miss the times when Hollywood could consistently produce great films.
Ah, Bob Hope hosting the Oscars on ABC television. I remember those days well. I imagine his usual cast of writers wrote the gag lines for this event for Mr. Hope. Greatly missed.
That's very cool, you must have loved seeing this. Your dad did some amazing work, Ben Hur is my dads favourite film and one of my husbands is Grand Prix, big racing fan.They both would have loved to have a chat with your dad about those films. You must be very proud of his achievements.
Are you kidding me. It's getting worse and started getting worse from the 2000. Technology is developing that's why everything getting worse and worse and what you are saying doesn't make sense. It's already no decency left and what after 30 years everyone will be going to oscars naked. I mean how worse can it get. and art is dead . no talent , everyone casting rich or kids of rich, no talented directors or anyhting. Cussing and sex talk everywhere . Movies today are trash and all of them not just majority
Actual stars with talent. You could take every Academy Award over the past ten years and put all of their talent in a thimble. Just seeing Jimmy Stewart made me tear up. One of the greatest Americans to ever live.

Perfect example of why everyone should invest in classic clothing instead of trendy. Some of these gowns could be worn today and nearly all the men wouldn't look out of place in 2015. Great style never changes.
+Justin Hopkins ...Back then, it must have been akin to attending the Opera or a Symphony in NYC. Now, it's akin to The Pornography Film Awards. That's Hollywood for ya.
Oh, I disagree, Mr. Hopkins. Those gowns were gauche or Victorian, with no in between. I wouldn't be caught dead in them, see. The best part of the show was when it went off...so yesterday...so out of this world...and so very, very, very white. Where was Sidney? Did you see Nancy Reagan? I hear the "little pistol" she carried was for Angela Davis who endeavored to read her husband the riot act if she got anywhere near Ronnie. Anyways, I agree: "Great style never changes." Once you get your eyes examined, you'll see those old rags for what they are.
Kevin Boone You can say "very very White" with no problem but if someone says very very Black" they are considered racist. Are Non-Whites the new racists or does it mean something else?
The quality in this is surprisingly good. If not for the cars shown at the beginning and a few key fashion details here and there, this could almost pass as relatively new footage. I've seen some old interview clips from the 80's that look more primitive and grainy compared to this.
I miss the days when the Academy Awards could be enjoyed by the whole family and they honored people with real class, true talent, respect for our country and no political agenda!!
Looks like a much more exclusive crowd. Today they invite Olympic Ahletes, NFL stars, presidential mistresses and people who have no connection with film. That’s a shame. Unless you’re a plus-one, only people in the film world should be attending this.
Yes, to respect something, you must NEVER EVER criticize it. And people who want to uphold the status quo, who wants things to never change, have "no political agenda." You are living in la la land, my friend.
You obviously did not hear Hope’s monologue- the strike, Hollywood “ the birthplace of politicians “ Nixon, Reagan, Wallace, Hubert Humphrey, Adam Clayton Powell. all mentioned. People are soo invested in maintaining their personal bias they can’t see fact in front of them. Hollywood in 1967 was RIFE with politics.
Pure class and elegance. Beautiful and talented people. Nobody is primitive. No one talks disrespectfully about women in the room. Nobody is hitting the presenter. Civilized times.

Alan Arkin is still one of the best actors today. He has done comedy, dramatic roles that make you want to cry (The Heart is a Lonely Hunter). He is without a doubt, still The Best Actor Today! Keep up the great work. Best, Debra Bader 🎀
Yes. I agree. The gowns today are so revealing... plunging neck lines, breasts exposed... so much classier and elegant back then.... the fashion difference is really is unbelievable between 1967 and 2017

@@danielleevans3323 I doubt it.
I can say that the 90s and early 2000s also provided us with a decent amount of glamour and excitement as well.
Right now the content and the arts have grown stale. Music is cheap and everything is commercially driven.
Celebrities politicize everything and display their worst habits in the public sphere.
You did not expect this from the classical generation.
@@personaldove Good point. Sad
@Bored Orange Oh no they won't! There is NOTHING mysterious or perfumed or glamorous about people always looking like they just stepped off an 8 hour shift on a garbage truck or just stepped out of a frat house with their mouths! It can't slip much lower than it is today!
@lavender No. As a young person myself I can assure you we won't.
So elegant, no slapping and out of control behavior. Steve McQueen was so handsome! lovely to see this clip.
What beautiful music, and those fantastic gowns which all the ladies looked so spectacular in. Rachel Welsh looked wonderful as usual, so sorry to hear of her passing last week. R. I. P 🙏🙏
An elegance which is lost today. I found the video both beautiful and sad in a way. To see all these stars that have past, it reminded me of how we are all getting old. Thank you for making available on UA-cam.
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine you're in a bathroom stall... 3 seconds ago you just crapped a daily now you reach for the toilet paper and you bunch it up, in your right hand. You do the reach around and wipe that smeary black paste on that tissue paper and of course you look at it to make sure you have properly wiped. Otherwise, well... we just don't need to explain any further. Except for one thing... the smear on that wad of tissue is equivalent to the academy award for best bullshi÷ artist of the year.

Brian O, you write very poetically, a little like Walt Whitman, all the while being so coherently communicative, pithy, profound, pleasant, enlightening, informative, transformative and certainly as moving as any talking bowel could ever hope to be!
grew up loving Raquel. In about 1976 I saw her song and dance show at the Warwick Musical tent in Rhode Island. Stunning.
I am 33 years old and it hurts, to see the stars of the days back than. Most of these celebrities are dead and a lot of the youth nowadays do not know anyone of them. Time flies and in a few decades I am an old woman and stars like Julie Andrews, Meryl Streep or Jack Nicholson are gone forever. Hurts.

I hope so much you might consider Meryl Streep has STILL got it.....I was stunned when I read your comment thinking I didn't hear so in the news. So now, I'm thinking you meant another actress? ( Just like getting to the check out line in a grocery store you realize you actually picked up smooth peanut butter and not the crunchy one you saw). The other lady Julie and the man Jack are also still alive and well. It seems like last year I finally saw the Princess Diaries 2...Anne Hathaway is really routing for Julie to be in the Princess Diaries 3. (This is written in Newsweek via internet).

A very classy Academy Awards Ceremony, in Color! Those were the best of the last days of the Golden Age of Hollywood! Most of them are gone now. This was 56 years ago! Incredible, how fast time has gone by!
We haven't watched the Awards in many many years... this video is a striking reminder and example of how this event should take place!
If you haven't watched it many years then how would you know that they don't do pretty much the same. That was what struck me, how similar they were with stale jokes that in 50 years from now most people won't understand. But Bob said some of the exact same things that Kimmel and other hosts have been saying for years, like how elegant everyone is dressed despite being the most overrated people on Earth.
This is a great upload, the quality is so good, you could almost be there. It was a much more serene, slow paced era, everyone forced to wait and listen to the band before the curtain raise, and the cars were all classic and classy. No phones, no social media, one channel, and alot of 40s and 50s icons. It must have been great to be a star back then.

So many stars that look so young, almost all passed on, I am glad I can remember them, which make me old. I wish they would have shown the whole show.

It's fascinating to see how the opening of the Oscars has changed; today we have interminable red carpet arrivals covered on the E channel and the networks interviewing actors and actresses ad infinitum about their designer gowns, jewelry, accessories, etc. while in 67, the stars were unapproachable, except for still photographers. It's also interesting to see how many stars changed spouses after these awards- Dick Van Dyke, Steve McQueen, Raquel Welch, Glenn Ford, Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave and Alan Arkin all re-married. Also sad to see the luminaries who have passed- Rock Hudson, Robert Mitchum, Walter Matthau, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, McQueen, Mike Nichols, Patricia Neal and Jimmy Stewart.
It’s a brand now. They had to do that because people were losing interest in the Oscars

Wow, I used to love watching as a kid. Everyone wasn’t so self righteous and the host was actually funny. Those days are long gone. Now it’s an award show just for there own because no one cares anymore. All good things must come to an end. It just had an air of class that eludes us now. Sigh
It used to be a party. Now it's a political protest.

Thanks for the memories
My how much has things changed
And not for the better
When artists looked like human beings.
I'd say the opposite... ! THOSE people were the REAL stars. Inaccessible. Nowadays, they're "just" celebrities, often vulgar ones, they give their opinion on everything, you can even chat with some of them on Twitter.
When PEOPLE were human beings.
Agreed. So much pretention beneath all of that plastic in most all of the prominent celebrities, and yes, now it is simply 'celebrity', often vulgar with no class and far too much spewing of ignorant opinions.
You can see accounts that their lives were often sordid train wrecks even back in the day but most could at least maintain some dignity in public, even though that isn't much more than most of us expect or expected of our children when in public.
Not so much Botox and face surgery..... Best man Steve Mc. Queen, what a man, miss Steve. 👈🏽🧒🏼🤩👈🏽🤩🧒🏼🌹
When they had class!
Hard to believe that was 50 years ago!!!
I was just 4! What class! Steve Mc Queen was cool!
Much better than now-a-days!
YES. SHOWING THE ORCHESTRA WAS GREAT! Do they still have a live orchestra?!
Yes, a live orchestra. Every year.
boy.... I'll say!
It's amazing to see them so young and in color.
Truly a celebration of the silver screen. This event beamed around the world, brought us closer together. The best of today, I'm sorry to say, in many ways fails in comparison to the calibre and charisma of the screen legends. Thank you to the contributor and to UA-cam for extending and continuing the legacy. So sad not to have such talent and class around anymore. So called progress! Bob Hope was a brilliant MC of the day.. with his sharp, witty and smooth style. ...and Raquel Welch at the end, elegance and class to the very end. RIP.
So great to see so many stars when they were young and vibrant. So sad that it makes me feel so old. I've learned to follow Indie films to find the best films. But, I miss the times when Hollywood could consistently produce great films.
Ah, Bob Hope hosting the Oscars on ABC television. I remember those days well. I imagine his usual cast of writers wrote the gag lines for this event for Mr. Hope. Greatly missed.
Steve McQueen seems like the coolest
That's my DAD! Franklin Milton. No wonder he was tongue tied, Raquel and her golden globes! Gorgeous and oh, so hip in those RAD palazzo pants.

Oh, I disagree, Mr. Hopkins. Those gowns were gauche or Victorian, with no in between. I wouldn't be caught dead in them, see. The best part of the show was when it went off...so yesterday...so out of this world...and so very, very, very white. Where was Sidney? Did you see Nancy Reagan? I hear the "little pistol" she carried was for Angela Davis who endeavored to read her husband the riot act if she got anywhere near Ronnie. Anyways, I agree: "Great style never changes." Once you get your eyes examined, you'll see those old rags for what they are.
Kevin Boone You can say "very very White" with no problem but if someone says very very Black" they are considered racist. Are Non-Whites the new racists or does it mean something else?

The quality in this is surprisingly good. If not for the cars shown at the beginning and a few key fashion details here and there, this could almost pass as relatively new footage. I've seen some old interview clips from the 80's that look more primitive and grainy compared to this.
Those were the days. I was 10 years old And it was a wonderful time to be alive.
Same here. And we had the best cartoons ever. Hannah-Barbera. Space Ghost..ect. loved em all.

I miss the days when the Academy Awards could be enjoyed by the whole family and they honored people with real class, true talent, respect for our country and no political agenda!!
Not told to pick colors...but instead...talent.
Looks like a much more exclusive crowd. Today they invite Olympic Ahletes, NFL stars, presidential mistresses and people who have no connection with film. That’s a shame. Unless you’re a plus-one, only people in the film world should be attending this.
Yes, to respect something, you must NEVER EVER criticize it. And people who want to uphold the status quo, who wants things to never change, have "no political agenda." You are living in la la land, my friend.
the last couple have been like a Zoo ......disgraceful ....'the fall of western civilisation' I think .....!
You obviously did not hear Hope’s monologue- the strike, Hollywood “ the birthplace of politicians “ Nixon, Reagan, Wallace, Hubert Humphrey, Adam Clayton Powell. all mentioned. People are soo invested in maintaining their personal bias they can’t see fact in front of them. Hollywood in 1967 was RIFE with politics.

"New Comer" Alan Arkin. 52 years later, in 2019, he's still working.
His role later this year in the thriller 'Wait Until Dark', would redefine scary.
Dude looks like he time traveled.
@@vh9network clever actor ,,!
Alan Arkin is still one of the best actors today. He has done comedy, dramatic roles that make you want to cry (The Heart is a Lonely Hunter). He is without a doubt, still The Best Actor Today! Keep up the great work. Best, Debra Bader 🎀
Love him
In 67 there was trouble and discourse in the country but nothing like currently, people were much more mature and kind back then!
so many truly great actors gone never to be replaced.
How elegant this all is! The women look absolutely gorgeousness without having to show anything. How times have changed for the worst!
Yes. I agree. The gowns today are so revealing... plunging neck lines, breasts exposed... so much classier and elegant back then.... the fashion difference is really is unbelievable between 1967 and 2017
what? you thought the Versace dress JLO wore to the Grammy's was too much, or should I say too little?
Thanks Wrath for blah blahing what everybody else blah blah's.

“gold pajamas” 😂 The powerhouse people in that initial line-up is next level.
People say this all the time but I was born at the wrong time. I should have been born when my dad was. Growing up in the 50's and seeing stars like these people.
Back when Hollywood was worth watching. Those days are long long gone.
bcfbasil - Yes, today it's all a sob story, victim mentality, identity politics. "Poor multimillionaire Hollywood women not getting enough money or recognition." "Poor multimillionaire Hollywood blacks not getting enough money or recognition." Oh, cry me a river... Boo, hoo, hoo... And who cares about all those Syrians and Iraqis and Palestinians being blown to bits for being born into the "wrong" tribe...
Back then people were saying the same thing.
bcfbasil: ABSOLUTELY!!! Nowadays they ruin an event like this with their political views, which have nothing to do with the nature of the show and some of them even dare to disrespect the audiences with bad language and verbal attacks on the politicians, especially our current President! I do not watch those award shows anymore, haven't watched them in a LOOOONNG time!
Hollywood is a Shit show now.
bcfbasil nah
Wow!!! A real live orchestra! Now, you got some DJ with baggy pants playing rap songs!
Steve McQueen looked so handsome!!
Because he was ruggedly handsome
I met him when I was a kid...he was a mean son of a bitch
Ken O'Neill I was 16 and working weekends at an airport gift shop. He came up to the counter and bought cigarettes. I asked him for his autograph after the purchase and he disdainfully said " grow up you little pansy "...I was 16, struggling with my sexual identity and he really made me feel like s h I t
He was and so masculine. I loved his looks.
miltsar You should never ask for a celebrities autograph, unless they are at an event. They hate that..
