This was first screened on"The Bell Telephone Hour"on NBC TV..back in 1970.
Love me some Jack Cassidy!! Geez the man could sing!!
One of the most touching sights last year was seeing Joel Grey sing 'Give My Regards to Broadway' on his 90th birthday in Times Square, with Bernadette Peters at his side, along with Donna Murphy and Bebe Neuwirth.
Wow! Thanks for this comment. I had no idea! I saw him in "Cabaret" in the 80s, "Chicago" in the 90s, and "Wicked" in the early 2000s. Would love to have seen his 90th birthday moment with Dame Bernadette of Peters.
what a cast!!! These are the pros!! Jack Cassidy!!! Anita Gillette!!! Nanette Fabray!!! I'm kvelling....
Oh my, I have wanted to see this again for 50 years. I saw Joel Grey do the play in summer stock, and YDD is my favorite movie. Thank you!
same here-I never saw it though
Yankee Doodle Dandy is my favorite too!! It’s what made me become a fan of both Cagney and Cohan
Very interesting
Bernadette Peters, such a beauty
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Omg thank you so much...I've been looking for this forever
Omg! I am so glad someone put this on UA-cam, I have been looking for this forever. I saw this when it was first aired. Love Joel Grey as George M. Cohan and Jack Cassidy as Jerry Cohan, Jack Cassidy is my distant cousin.
I saw this in 1970 when I was 20 years old. I am 71 now!
So Buetiful
Thank you-waited years to see this-love George C
Thank you!
Wow! What a cast!
This had me at Jack Cassidy.... Anita Gillette??? Sealed it.
And a dishy Lewis J. Stadlen?? Not since Ernie Sabella in The Robber Bridegroom!
A young Blythe Danner and Bernadette Peters, priceless.
Mr.Lewis Stadlen is the son of Allen Swift(Ira Stadlen).
1:52 Red Buttons enters and when he greets Nanette Fabray sitting at the table, he does his trademark jump dance step with his hand cupping his ear - a move I remember him doing on the opening credits of his short-lived TV show back in the 1960's. I seem to remember that 'Tea for Two" was his show's theme music. Notice how Jesse White references that same dance step when he greets Red 5 seconds later. Nice.
Thank you so very much for posting this! I never knew that this was ever filmed! What a very rare and wonderful treasure!!🤔🙄😳🤗❤️
Saw this on Broadway. Totally overwhelmed at being able to see Joel Grey again this time with an incredible supporting cast. Thank you!!!
RIP red buttons
A very entertaining television production--but a far cry from the Broadway Show. I saw Joel Grey and (most of) the original cast--it was staged as a musical/vaudeville. Unfortunately for the televised production, many songs were cut (like "Ring to the Name of Rosie", ""All Our Friends", "Push Me Along In My Push Cart", "Musical Moon", "Billie", "Oh You Wonderful Boy", "Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway", "Down By the Erie", "So Long Mary" and on and on).
I turned this off about half an hour in when it was rerun on tv, because the staged reading/rehersal concept confused me. They should've done a straightforward staging.
I love it when Josie says “let’s face it my brother’s pushy” and Agnes follows that up with “no aggressive”. So putting that together pushy+aggressive=same thing! 🤦🏻♀️
This is all very odd. Some good bits but boy oh boy, it's not a patch on the original stage production. What is Nanette Fabray wearing???? that's the best they could find for her?
This is nothing like the original show on Broadway. Which was a flop by the way. Everyone was excited about it, then we saw it.
Memeulous?
I don't understand all these talented people and it seems like a very good show but music did not sound like that at the time why didn't they ever use the proper style of music for the. They're portraying it didn't happen until a few years ago when showboat came along with the original it was an amazing hit an amazing production.
.p I'm about halfway through this production what a mess is this family where the same clothing for their entire career the music is terrible the only good thing I can find about it is the dancing is very good. I heard some people say it was very different from the Broadway production. But I I don't know about that but my personal opinion is that this is a mess
Not to mention they weren't interracial casts in the 1900s !
I don't understand most of the wording in your comment, but unless you're referring to the slightly more updated orchestrations of the songs in this show, I can assure you that the songs did sound like this back in the early 1900s because... Well, all these songs were written by Cohan in the early 1900s.
My expertise is music of the twenties and thirties and those arrangements in that show are totally wrong wrong wrong as they can b b e
