Thank you fir posting it

primerib:
how come in 1975 the program was broadcast in black and white? by that time everything was in living color.

It was broadcast in Color in the U.S.
Other countries did not have color until much later. Also, the networks sometimes only made a copy of a show in B+W for posterity. Color debuted (as we know it now) on 12/17/53, and I remember seeing it in the late 50's but it only became common in the 60's.

It was in color. We had it for music classes and her dress is a lovely medium blue. Went with her wonderful hair color. The whole program was wonderful and great for kids to see.

WONDERFUL! I enjoyed this enormously! What an amazing video! What fun! Thank you!

Sills lady is Very good :)

Excellent, I love Danny Kaye, Oh this video made me laugh and brought tears of joy  to my eyes.
Thanks for posting this.

This video is great.

Fantastic video! Thanks for posting.

Delightful! Beverly and Danny are wonderful together and seem to be having a splendid time mixing grand opera with contemporary music (even the famous MEOW MIX jingle!). What a pity that good, clean entertainment like this is so rarely seen today. Thanks for sharing.
