60's video

[Ryan256]

Talk about forced choreography. I just puked in my mouth a little.

[TPBXDRicky420]

Press 5 !

[MannyMUC]

The style is more "Fifties". A new Sixties style just came up with the Beatles and Rolling Stones around 1964/1965

[WalleyTV]

Song is from 1949, Words to live by even today. Love all your brothers and sisters of the earth. This film version made in the 60's

[jezzzzkuuhhh]

Oh my word!

I totally didn't recognize this song.

I've only ever heard the Peter, Paul and Mary version.

I like theirs better.

That being said, Debbie Reynolds looks exactly like my grandmother, which makes me love her.

[ggblueam]

It's Debbie Reynolds!

[moullineaux]

AWESOME in the true sense of the word

[garystockdale]

Who is the 4-man vocal group? Is that the Four Freshmen?

[Autostade67]

Gotta love "silent majority populuxe" taste: it could absorb and subvert just about anything. It still can. It also makes the earnest totally and utterly fabulous.

Damnit, I wish the crap variety/reality shows today had lighting as intriguing as this. A visual feast.

[ricknkay]

Funny comment. I agree, although the culture seems to absorb just about everything at breakneck speed these days. It used to take a couple of years bacik in my day. When do you suppose this was made? 1967?

[etrax2000]

god bless good mormon entertainment !

[Georgiahulse]

Who is it that's singing, and what's the song called does anybody know??

[ectorlove]

That is Debbie Reynolds (Carrie Fisher's..Princess Leia of Star Wars fame.. mother!) Debbie Reynolds was a Hollywood star from the the 1950's and 60's. She is singing "If I Had A Hammer"...a popular folk song from the 1960's...made famous by the group..Peter Paul and Mary

She is still living and working..

[BroadwayTJ]

you might recall she starred with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor in a little film musical called SING'N IN THE RAIN.

[altobirdbarigal]

debbie reynolds and i dont the know the song sorry

[Georgiahulse]

I actually really love this song and dance!

[theatertalk]

It was written by folk legend Pete Seeger in 1949 and was later adopted as an anthem for the civil rights movement in the 60's, It was a hit for Peter, Paul and Mary (Mary Travers who died 9/16/09).

[coffeezebra]

i knew this set looked familiar- have a look at kelly osborne's papa don't preach video.

[somersetdc]

I believe the Soviets felt better about their situation after they saw this piece of western capitalist crap.

[fabiansutcliffe]

I suggest muting the sound and keeping a close eye on the dancing girls ;)

[ekocentric]

Culture is rampant tonight.

[TitanLV]

No comment

[ekocentric]

I have less of a comment than yours...lol.

[taipasboy]

É impressão minha ou o cenário lembra a Brasília de Oscar Niemayer?!!!

[dybbuk4640]

talk about shlock ...couldnt be better unless it was edie gorme singing blowin in the wind

[torresongs]

Definitely a Scopitone. Debbie was a big investor in Scopitone and lost a lot of money when it didn't catch on. It's funny to see how many artists recorded this song. It's really an awful song!

[mikey42]

Debbie, God love her, has been losing money her whole life.

[crissus89]

xD cool, i wanna hug my grandpa!!!!

[problem49]

If Debbie Reynolds truly had a hammer I haven't the slightest doubt that she would've used it to obliderate every single copy of this Godawful embarassment.

[idigyoubaby]

OMG. Think I'll go gift wrap the garbage.

[supersaiyenbuu]

Absolutely magnificent!

[kensai123]

Awesome!

[scotpens]

That set just screams "1960s"! Back in the Sixties, those damn four-pointed star shape thingies were EVERYWHERE. Architecture, graphic design, interiors, fabric patterns, you name it. It was Space Age Modern!

[darkmatter888]

this is what hunter s thompson and raul duke got thrown out of at a vegas casino! love every second of it.

[turbo1964]

Is this a Scopitone?

[shatzi]

It has that horrid Scopitone style of directing, but not the reddish tint most of them have after these years. I have never seen this one before.

[Kaiwaza]

it doesn't get cooler than this..:)

[GodzillaJ]

dont pick on debbie,at least she got up there and she has talent

[tikiatomica]

They were drinkin' the kool-aid in holly-weird long before Jimmy jones came along.

[roadster45]

Yikes, Debbie Reynolds trying to be 'cool', that'll never happen! LOL

[scotpens]

Yeah, the only time you'll hear "Debbie Reynolds" and "hip" in the same sentence is when she has hip replacement surgery!

[pirate259]

Cripes!!!
