Actually, the name of the show (of which the 1954 movie is a truncated record) was "New Faces of 1952". There's a YouTube clip of a 1961 b&w TV production of the show that better approaches the original production values. The clip is titled "New Faces of '52 Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostly (RARE)" and features Lynde, Ghostly, and songwriter-performer June Carroll (sister of the show's producer, Leonard Sillman, wife of "The Hustler" screenwriter Sidney Carroll, and mother of the composer Steve Reich).
This looks like a restored print, thank goodness! The print floating around for years was awful. The original cast recording of this show is one of my faves of all time.
