The Rosemary Clooney Show with Dorothy Kirsten ( complete episode ! ) | 1957

[@johnward4557]

Thank you for posting this and others in this series. The lighting, photography, and sound are all great. So glad these were shot on film instead of being preserved on kinescopes or videotape. The production values really do justice to all of the performers. And needless to say, Rosemary Clooney really shines here.

My mom loved Rosemary Clooney.

To whomever is responsible for resurrecting this Kinescope, mille grazie--a thousand thanks--for sharing it!

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Oops, grammar problem.

Brian Wilson revealed that it was Rosie's recording of "Tenderly" that taught him how to sing sweetly!

This is wonderful ❤️ 💖 ♥️

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

This is like stepping back into a time machine and is definitely a dream come true!! LOVE Rosemary Clooney and everything she ever sang!!

[@AllenJones-w3p]

I knew Dorothy was a legendary opera singer, but she did a terrific job on Gershwin's classic "The Man I Love"!

Clark Burrows! what a joyful little guy is he!

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

WOW! With Nelson Riddle?! This is such a treat!! i didn't even know Rosemary Clooney had her own show.

[@markschildberg1667]

Only 13 episodes were made, but wow, what great singing.

[@richardgornalle4536]

This is a wonderful blast from the past. This legend could really really sing. I am a fan from way back and purchased her many recordings. Thank you for this brilliant glimpse at what was great.

I love it when opera singers crossover and sing Broadway.

[@jaredjlinden]

What a talent she was! A wonderful singer, but a fantastic screen presence, too.

[@AllenJones-w3p]

Rosie and Dorothy's duet was delightful! And Dorothy's rendition of the Verdi aria was masterful.

[@WestWoods54]

JUST what the Doctor ordered... and ordered.... and ordered!!! Thanks for answering the call.

[@bobsanders9114]

I love the way she shifts subtext on every line of lyric. And even more - every half line. So alive.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Imagine she would appear in the first special on CBS to be videotaped, The Edsel show.

[@philipanderson4673]

I imagine you've seen the videotaped versions from Seattle KTZZ in the 1980s.. I also taped them but it's really wonderful to see an actual film with excellent sound.. as an aside, I have a complete 3-spool wire recording of 1949 Mettropolitan Opera "Faust" with "the lovely Dorothy Kirsten as Marguerite".. it's difficult to impossible for an operatic singer to pull it back and sing a popular tune.. she was quite good at it.. always looking for the best of Rosemary Clooney.. "I recorded so much crap".. put your record of "With the Night' on the turntable and stare at the speakers.......

[@POGGIOALSERE]

Thank you ❤

[@KristineMaitland]

I knew straight from the harp into that she was going to sing Tenderly!

[@philipanderson4673]

thank you.

[@sanfordpress8943]

Dorothy Kirsten was from New Jersey

[@sanfordpress8943]

[@amywilson3593]

[@michaelmcgee8543]

As with the producers of I Love Lucy, this producer hated the video look and preferred,Shot on film.
