Is this A.I. generated or something? Looks like shit. Who knew Siskel and Ebert were so...what's the equivalent of anti-Semitic when it's about Protestants?🙃

Thrilling! Thank you, Michael, for preserving a legendary performance so others can truly appreciate Rebecca's artistry.

Miss her!!! 😢

yassified

Goddanm terrific! Thanks..

"Protestants, people who sort of want a religion" 😂and then they shake hands I'm fucking dying 😂😂

When they were ripping on Protestants and Siskel (a Jew) and Ebert (a Catholic) declared that their personal beliefs were more valid because their religions had a blood feud going back thousands of years before Protestants were a gleam in Martin Luther's eye, it was hilarious. It's clear these guys had a great relationship. Thank you for posting this comic gold.

Never knew they didn’t like each other😂😂😂 so awkward 😬😬

Fabulous

Such an amazing voice !!!! Have seen Julie live many times over the years.

This is outstanding! The crispness of the picture is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your hard work with is.

I don't care WHO said you weren't going to Broadway with Gypsy.... you would have been THE Mama Rose!!! I saw this at the Papermill Playhouse and I was sitting on the aisle and you made your entrance right next to me. SING OUT LOUISE!!! I HAD CHILLS!!! I have seen Tyne...Bernadette and Patti... and as good as they were they don't hold a candle to you!!! I am so blessed to have been on this earth at the same time as you...I've been a fan since Carrie the movie...on Eight is Enough...where I heard you sing for the first time...I fell in love with your voice...and I have had the pleasure of seeing on Broadway in Carrie...Triumph of Love...twice in Sunset Blvd...and at least 30 times in concert...The Bottom Line...Joe's Pub...The Carlyle...among other places. I even flew to Seattle to see you perform with the Seattle Symphony!! Not to mention all the great music you've recorded over the years. You are the soundtrack of my life. Thank you...the joy you have given me...thank you doesn't cut it...I love you... NOW AND FOREVER!!!

Betty Buckley strength and endurance! Wonderful!! Thsnk you! ♥️Xxxooo

Such wonderful joy!!! Beautiful beautiful work!! Thsnk you Betty Buckley! ♥️Xxxooo

Fantastic!

Loved this! Sailed on the Majesty back in ‘95. I’ve cruised many times since but that cruise is still very special to me. Sadly cruising has lost a little of the sparkle it once had.

Thank you so much for this upgraded version. I think this was one of the best performances from Night of 100 Stars. Plus one of the rare times you will see a young Christopher Walken put on his dancing shoes!

Thank you! I LOVE THIS!!

It's just so gorgeous to see real, classic tap! Wish it would come back in vogue. ❤

MY GOD!!!!! HOW WONDERFUL!!! I MISS THESE DAYS! SO MANY ARE GONE, NOW!! <3 :(

HARMONIES 🔥🔥🔥

Wow, this 4k restoration looks fantastic!

Thank you so much for this. I will never forget the night I saw Betty Buckley in Sunset Boulevard. I'd seen the original production in London and liked it - but I was not overwhelmed. It lacked 'something'. That something was Betty Buckley. I bought discount tickets from TKTS and initially lamented that the seats were in the third row - usually the worst seats in a big scale production - yet from the moment Ms. Buckley made her entrance, I praised whatever gods conspired to get me those seats. Despite the grandeur of the production, Sunset Boulevard was/is essentially a very intimate piece and Ms. Buckley's every word, movement, gesture made it so. I can still recall the scent of her perfume, the smoke of her cigarette, the swish of her costumes as she owned each moment of her character on stage. It was not just her incredible voice but her magical presence - her total embodiment of the role. It WAS Norma Desmond I was watching and listening to. She was beautiful, charming, mad, heartbreaking, pathetic and valiant. This was musical theater at its best - transporting, enthralling... everything. This was the seductive alchemy that happens only once ... with a singing actress who truly embodies the role she plays. Pure magic. I don't know what else to say.

I just saw her on an episode of "Gunsmoke" from 1966. Wow, what a sweetheart.

Great section on her in the biography of Vito Russo

Great band! Fantastic dancer!! Go Mercedes!

what a great ahow! and great video Michael

Can you do this for Glenn ‘s ones

Terrific - though very strange that all the adjustments made for Close are retained here, though Buckley didn't need them, e.g. going down instead of belting upwards "screenplay" and "seven veils".

Theu played the 'Satin' sisters.

Are there any more Betty Buckley restored Sunset videos? This is glorious!!

Love that this song can only be sung by "women of a certain" age.

I like it. That song can be delivered so many different ways, the Ann Miller treatment works.

such a trouper.. fought all the battles. true survivor.

Great quality, thanks for taking the time to up-scale and post. It was incredible to see her in this production live.

Wow The great voice of Betty Buckley. She had such resonance in her voice, I saw her in 'Edwin Drood'.That voice could raise the rafters at the theater. Thanks for sharing this

Is it just me, or is her final "me" flat?

AWESOME Michael Steever!

What a voice ❤

🙌🏻

🙌🏻

Fantastic restoration! Wow. For all its problems, ALL the material between Buckley and Hately is just brillant
