Ha!) The fifties broadcasts do not survive with their color intact.
(And the 2014 Oscars boasted about their 43 million viewers. (And, granted, fewer channels.) Those are numbers that modern networks can only dream of, with the exception of sports championships, the Academy Awards and the like. The musical was first broadcast in 1955 and was watched by 65 million. Peter Pan was one of those extra somethings. Sometimes, if the station was showing a program that he thought we would like, he would include an extra something. In addition, a family friend living closer to civilization kindly recorded cartoons and Star Trek for us. Is it any wonder that I ended up a fan of the classics? We got exactly one channel out where we lived and it pretty much exclusively screened old television shows and movies. (Is it any wonder that I have a good laugh at Lillian Gish’s dramatics and outright fibs about the desert shooting locations?) You know the setting of The Wind? A desert wasteland, you say? Thanks to my father’s job, it was home to me when I was a kid. I like perhaps three or four musicals and today I am going to be reviewing one of them.įlash back to early 1989. However, even the most determined and prejudiced of us will sometimes make exceptions. Point of fact, given the choice between having to watch a musical and having to sit through an Adam Sandler movie… I would take the musical but it would be close! I’ve never made any secret of the fact that musicals are… well, let’s just say that we don’t get on as well as one might expect.
