Im reminded again what a truly gifted dramatic actress Rosalind was---- one of a kind.

Thank you, this was amazing to see, had no idea it existed or even happened. Roz is one of my top favorites.

From the the first telecast of the "STARTIME" series, "The Wonderful World of Entertainment".

VERY rare color videotape from that period. And very few people saw this in color, because of the cost of color sets at the time.

I wonder how many episodes from the 1959-60 period still exist on color videotape

[@fromthesidelines]

Dinah Shore and Tennessee Ernie Ford saved their color videotapes from the last two seasons of their programs (1959-'61), and several of Steve Allen's "PLYMOUTH SHOW" telecasts from the 1959-'60 season exist as well. Not too many others do.

Our first color TV in 1970 was $500. That's $3,656 in 2022 dollars.

Roz is fantastic in this scene. Even better than she was in the movie
